Donate to CJC

Your contributions to CJC are greatly appreciated. Like all congregations, our operating budget is largely based on dues and donations. Since it is our strongly-held value to keep our dues as low as reasonable and to make it possible for congregants who face financial difficulties to arrange payment plans and dues adjustments, the rest of us need to close the gap by donating generously.

In the Torah, Exodus 25.2 offers an inspiring vision of the experience of our ancestors who received God's message through Moses to "tell the Israelite people to bring Me gifts" t o build the desert sanctuary. "You shall accept gifts for Me from every person whose heart so moves." And the people donated even more than was needed! CJC asks members and friends to search their hearts and offer gifts from their hearts to help our community thrive.

There are several options:

  • Annual Dedication campaign. At Rosh Hashanah, we launch our annual Dedication Campaign asking the congregation for 100% participation; donations of any size are gratefully requested. (Dedication campaign)
  • L'Atid Group. There is also the opportunity to become a member of CJC's L'atid Group (Guarantors of the Future), by committing to donate at least $360 more than required dues annually. These members ensure a continuous flow of revenue each year, and we thank them greatly.

You can make a monetary contribution directly at any time of the year to our Tzdakah Fund or to other designated funds, or sponsor a Friday night Oneg Shabbat following the service. Click on the link to print the appropriate form to make your donation.

    Giant Food Cards: Another easy option is to buy Giant Food Cards from the CJC office. Giant donates 5% of your grocery bill, so every shopping trip helps CJC. Use the Card instead of cash or check at the checkout; it doesn't slow you down and the Card doesn't expire -- and the Card costs you nothing. You can pick up the Giant Money Card (available in $25, $50, and $100 denominations) at the CJC office. Call 410-730-6044, ext 314 for more info.
