Annual Giving Program
The annual giving program is for supporters who realize the importance of the JCC’s role in our Jewish community’s sustainability, and who want to ensure that the JCC remains a vibrant part of Jewish life. This benefactor program allows donors to make a 100 percent tax deductible contribution to the JCC each year. Annual donors will be acknowledged in the JCC Annual Report and on gratitude signs displayed in the upstairs foyer of the JCC building. Membership benefits are not included in the annual giving program.
