Thank you for taking a moment to renew your annual support through B'nai Havurah's 2024 Annual Gifts of the Heart Pledge.
GIFTS OF THE HEART - A DIFFERENT TYPE OF COMMUNITY SUPPORT MODEL
While we do not require a minimum level of support, we do have suggested levels that are based on our expenses and the size of our community. Don't get us wrong- we really do need people to be generous! We just trust YOU to decide what that means for you. Gifts of the Heart financial income constitutes roughly 60% of our total operating budget. These Gifts of the Heart are a big part of what makes us a vibrant, healthy, community. We have put together a FAQ page full of information on this different type of community support model. Click the button below to learn more.
Here are some guidelines of how you might think about your annual gift to B’nai Havurah: (As in the past, there will be additional opportunities to support B’nai financially throughout the year.)
Kehillah / קהילה (Gift of the Community): $5,000-$10,000+ - Based on the average annual gift by the top tier of existing donors.
Bayit /בית (Gift of the Home: $2,500) - Approximate result from dividing the total Gifts of the Heart budget by the total number of households.
Adama/ אדמה (Gift of the Earth): $1,600 - Approximate result from dividing the total Gifts of the Heart budget by the total number of individual members.
Please consider a minimum increase of your 2023 gift by 10%. Your annual gift will help us keep up with inflation, programming, and increased security and staffing needs while creating an even more welcoming community. To find out what your support was in 2023, log onto your ShulCloud account or call the B'nai office.
