A Note from Your Development Team
|
|
UNDERWRITING OPPORTUNITIES
Gifts that partially or fully underwrite projects at CRS are a wonderful way to make a tangible impact on our community. Here are two immediate opportunities:
Religious School Scholarships
:
We believe that every Jewish child is entitled to a Jewish education, and our policy is to never turn away families in need. While gifts of any amount are appreciated, a gift of $2,165 will allow one fourth grade child to attend Religious School, including all textbooks, materials, snacks, and special family programs. An impactful gift of $45,000 covers the shortfall needed for scholarships this year.
High Holy Day Childcare
:
We offer High Holy Day childcare for children ages 3-7, a wonderful service for our congregants that is free of charge. A gift of $5,000 will fully underwrite this program for all High Holy Days.
Please contact Lyndsie Levine, Director of Development at (646) 454-3050 or
llevine@crsnyc.org
to discuss how you can help.
