Give
Temple Kol Tikvah offers a number of ways that you can give tzedakah throughout the year by donating through a number of funds or by purchasing a leaf on our Tree of Life. These donations are tax-deductible and help us to sustain the level of programming and support that the temple extends to its members and the community. We sincerely appreciate the thoughtfulness of those who support our community by remembering and honoring their loved ones and friends through generous contributions. Thank you for your generous donation.
General Fund
Provides supplemental resources to support operational and service-related expenditures at the temple.
Restricted Funds
A number of funds are available for donation to above and beyond your generous membership or voluntary time commitments. These are restricted funds which can only be used for their designated purposes.
By having these sources of funds available for people to contribute to, there is a perfect choice for tzedakah, and to even designate an honor or a remembrance in someone’s name (in any amount, large or small). Below is a description of the different funds available.
