$7.7M donation is largest ever for Jewish Federation of Sarasota-Manatee

After a local philanthropist provided a second sizable donation toward redevelopment of the Jewish Federation of Sarasota-Manatee campus, his gifts mark the largest in the organization’s history.

Larry Greenspon made the lead gift in 2018 toward redeveloping the campus at 580 McIntosh Road, named the Greenspon Campus for Jewish Life. His total investment, including his second donation, is $7.7 million, according to a statement from the Jewish Federation of Sarasota-Manatee. 

A little more than $3.35 million came in 2018, according to Director of Marketing & Communications Ellen Biddle, and the Federation just announced the more recent gift in the past week.
