B’nai Sholom is happy to accept contributions of cash (i.e. checks) or securities, which may be directed to any Committee or budget line.

The Congregation also maintains several funds which are happy to receive contributions. Contributions to these funds remain in these funds from one year to the next, as opposed to budget line contributions, which return to the General Fund at the conclusion of the Fiscal Year if they have not been used.

Examples of budget line contribution are to the Library, the Art Committee, etc.

The Funds we maintain, and their purposes are:

The General Fund, which pays the various expenses of the congregation as laid out in the Budget which is approved by the Congregation at its Annual Meeting

The Rabbi’s Discretionary Fund makes donations to other organizations and pays for unbudgeted items for our congregation, primarily those which assist the rabbi.

The Ruth G. Warshaw Memorial Fund pays for an annual guest lecture.

The Israel Bond Fund purchases Israel Bonds for the Congregation. When these Bonds mature, the proceeds go to the Scholarship Fund.

The Scholarship Fund provides incentive awards for our students to attend summer overnight camps, and Israel programs.

The Circle of Life Fund is to pay for major purchases or repairs which are not covered in our budget.

The Marlene Baker Scholarship Fund is to assist members of our Youth Group to attend NFTY functions

Your free-will contributions, for which you receive no goods or services, are fully tax deductible to the fullest extent as provided by law.

We are sorry that at this time we are not able to accept your contribution on-line or by credit card.
