Ways to Give

From annual gifts to legacy plans, every contribution helps our congregation thrive.

Members of the Temple Emanu-El community, including adults and children, gather in a bright social hall to pack supplies into bags for a mitzvah project, working together at tables filled with assorted donated items.
Every gift to Temple Emanu-El strengthens our vibrant community and sustains the programs, services and values we cherish. Whether you choose to give annually, make a legacy commitment, contribute to a special fund or explore other options, there are many ways to make an impact. Below, you’ll find the giving opportunities that can help you support the Temple today and for generations to come.​
