What is a Tribute? |
| | A Tribute is a thoughtful way to acknowledge a life event while supporting NCJW’s many valuable projects. Honorary gifts recognize special occasions, including birthdays and bar/bat mitzvahs as well as congratulating or thanking friends, family members or teachers. Memorial gifts pay tribute to loved ones, offering messages of support and sympathy. |
|
Where does the money go? |
| | Tribute money supports NCJW’s programs to improve the quality of life for women, children and families. Most tributes support all of the programs sponsored by NCJW; however, certain tributes allocate money directly to individual programs. Specifically, the new Israel Light Blue tribute ($18) supports NCJW’s programs in Israel, yad b’ yad cards ($5 each or a package of 10 for $25) support education of at risk families in Israel, and Dorothy Cohen Fine Arts Tributes (minimum donation of $10) support fine arts education for disadvantaged children in our area. |
|
How do I select a tribute? |
| | Tributes come in packages and individual cards. You can purchase a package of cards and mail them yourself, or you can purchase an individual card and the Tribute Chair will send it on your behalf.
Remember all tributes are tax deductible. |
|
How much do they cost? All Tributes have a minimum donation of $5. |
