Make a Donation

Thank You.

Netivot Shalom depends upon the generosity of the community to continue our efforts. There are a myriad of ways you can donate to Congregation Netivot Shalom. An unrestricted gift commits the use of your donation to the discretion of the Board of Directors, who will apply it where it is needed most. The congregation also maintains a number of special designated funds, which allow you to assure that your gift will go to advance a specific function supported by that fund.

Tax-Free Gift from IRA: If you are 70½ or over, you can make a tax-free gift from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) using your required minimum distribution. This type of gift, known as Qualified Charitable Distribution, needs to be payable from the financial institution directly to Netivot Shalom. Please initiate your gift following your financial institution’s procedures and notify the office to expect a check from your IRA.

As with any charitable contribution, please consult your tax advisor about your eligibility for specific tax benefits for any of these giving methods.

Designating an Honoree

Donors often wish to honor another person with their donation. If that person is living, you may wish for the congregation to inform the honored person that a gift has been made in their name. When honoring the memory of someone who has died, it is customary to ask the congregation to inform that person’s survivors of the gift.

Please include any instructions regarding honorees with your gift, or call the office if you have additional questions.
