How Much to Contribute?
In pledging membership support, you ensure that Judea Reform’s foundational needs are met. You are a partner in preserving the great traditions of Judaism, responding to the current concerns of our community, and planning for a future of sacred engagement for generations to come.
Standard Membership Contribution
We rely on every member to contribute as much as you are able. Our suggested standard levels for 2024/2025 are listed below.
Can I contribute more?
For those who are able to contribute a amount greater than the standard contribution level, your additional support allows Judea Reform Congregation to be fully inclusive of all members to foster an egalitarian community. We never want finances to be a barrier to membership for anyone and your additional support makes that possible. You can learn more about our Circle of Honors program.
Can I contribute less?
We recognize that standard membership support should never be a burden on any member’s ability to participate in our community. Members who would like to request an adjustment should simply contact our Executive Director, Emily Young, at eyoung@judeareform.org, or our Business Manager, Liz Gibbons at egibbons@judeareform.org, to discuss an appropriate membership contribution.
