Annual Financial Commitment

Shomrei Torah is here for us every day, in good times and bad, offering all members a strong, supportive, and inspiring “Jewish home.” In turn, we need and humbly ask all members/households to make an annual investment in the well-being and sustainability of our community, even during those times when our individual needs don’t seem urgent or great. Because we want to ensure that all families or individuals wishing to become a part of the Shomrei Torah community can do so, we have no set levels for members’ financial commitments. Instead, we ask each member/household to provide an amount that reflects a significant, but manageable commitment.

The chart below shows the distribution of members’ yearly commitments for the current fiscal year. It illustrates two important features of our operations. First, more than half our members can commit no more than $1,250 annually, a number well below our per-household annual cost of $2,451. Second, members representing just 20% of our membership make contributions that account for over 50% of total yearly commitments. This membership dynamic is not unique to Shomrei Torah; however, it necessitates that each community member/household make a significant, but manageable annual commitment to Shomrei Torah.

Wherever you fit on this chart, your annual financial commitment is the foundation of our community. We are grateful for your investment in our shared future.

* My/Our Annual Membership Financial Commitment $:

Shomrei Torah's fiscal year is July 1- June 30. If you are joining mid-fiscal-year, your annual financial commitment will be pro-rated starting this month.

If you need assistance determining your annual financial commitment, you may write "I need help" in the box above and someone from CST will contact you to discuss it after you have submitted this form.
