Spring 2017 Fundraiser
Dear Friend,
On behalf of the Yavneh Board of Directors, I thank you for your ongoing support of our growing congregation.
Yavneh provides a full schedule of activities on an extremely small budget. As is typical in many synagogues, membership commitments account for just 50% of our modest operating costs. For the remainder, we rely on the generosity of our community, both our members and other supporters.
We need you to contribute generously to our 2017 Spring fundraiser. To meet our needs for this fiscal year (ending on June 30) and to enter the coming year with adequate resources, we need to raise at least $21,000 – primarily for personnel. Fortunately, individual members of our Board of Directors have already pledged $7,000 to match your donations roughly 1:2 on our way to meeting this goal.
If everyone who has supported Yavneh in the past contributes $250 to this fundraiser, we will surpass our goal. I understand that this exceeds some budgets, no matter the enthusiasm, so I hope others of you will consider making a more substantial donation as your finances permit.
Your support sustains Yavneh’s unique worship and spiritual programs, our community-wide engagement in deep ecumenism, and our many learning and social opportunities. [PLEASE NOTE: THE PRIZE DRAWING HAS ALREADY TAKEN PLACE, BUT WE STILL WELCOME YOUR DONATION!]
Finally, I ask you to consider the alternative. Without adequate funding, Yavneh will need to curtail our worship, educational, and social programs. As the proverb says, “Ayn kemach, ayn Torah,” no flour (dough!), no sustenance for our community’s staff, on whom our operations depend.
Because there are so many in the community who believe deeply in what we do, I don’t expect this to happen. But, in order to ensure uninterrupted operations, we need everyone to participate generously. I hope we can count on you.
Please make your donation by clicking on the "donate" button above, or, if you prefer mail your check to Yavneh, 6325 Falls of Neuse, Suite 35-358, Raleigh, NC 27615. Either way, know that you will have my heartfelt appreciation, that of the Yavneh Board, and the entire Yavneh community for your much needed support.
With deep gratitude,
