The Emanuel Synagogue is committed to providing our members with spiritual support, meaningful programs, and a beautifully well-maintained building. In addition to dues, annual giving is essential to the life of every synagogue. Your generous support is appreciated and helps ensure The Emanuel continues into the future.
By distributing a portion of the annual fund earnings, Emanuel Endowment supports synagogue operations. With over $2 million in principal, the Endowment distributes over $80,000 each year. The principal grows as donations are added, ensuring synagogue support year after year. Anyone may participate in endowment giving!
The Emanuel Endowment consists of the GENERAL Endowment, & NAMED Endowment Funds, which include:
