Ways To Give
Yearly fundraising events and our FOSS (Friends of Solomon Schechter) mail appeal are the foundation of our Annual Campaign. These vital dollars benefit our operating budget and include scholarship. These charitable donations enable the school to achieve academic excellence while remaining financially accessible to all young families.
The Endowment Campaign is gradually increasing and generates income through wise investment of the principal. A strong endowment will solidify our school’s financial
security in the future. This year we will embark on a major gifts endowment campaign focused on raising $3 million within the next 2 years and then continue to build our endowment to $10 million. Donors who establish an endowment fund at a certain level can name a program of their personal choice. Legacy gifts can be set up in several ways. A trust, a bequest in your will, a private family foundation, or a life insurance policy are just a few options that will provide for the needs of our children tomorrow.
Planned giving will be a vital focus of our future fundraising goals. National statistics reveal that over $10 trillion is expected to change hands in the next decade. Estate gifts in various forms are wonderful acts of tzedakah, especially when they memorialize the donor’s name in perpetuity.
