Imagine if...
- The Temple did not have to raise dues?
- We secured the religious futures for hundreds of congregants?
- We had surplus funds to put towards new programs that have been waiting to be funded?
- We secured the salaries for the clergy for a generation to come?
- The endowment gave the Temple a new gift every year?
- We had the funds to make necessary and much needed repairs and consistently beautify the grounds?
- And so much more…
Why An Endowment Fund? Why Now?
Today, Temple Emanu-El relies on dues and individual fundraising requests to help fund the operating expenses of the congregation. These efforts are a tremendous help to our temple, but increasingly, they still leave a gap that needs to be filled.
Synagogues that have investment income, rather than relying solely on annual dues and donations, maintain stronger financial security and provide additional consistent funding. A strong endowment fund is the foundation for the most successful universities, religious and cultural institutions across the country. It is for this reason that we are excited to embark on this effort to build a strong and everlasting endowment, and a recurring source of income for our congregation.
