Annual Community Commitment

Our Annual Community Commitment is based on the belief that we all share responsibility for the fiscal health of our sacred Congregation Shir Shalom community. We appreciate and rely on the financial commitment of each congregant and ask you to make your Annual Community Commitment so we can continue to fulfill our mission, serve our congregants, maintain our synagogue home, and involve ourselves in community activities.

We ask that congregants determine their level of support using the following considerations:
  • The Standard Community Commitment amount is a starting point for all congregants.
  • Reduced Rates are available for congregants who meet specific criteria (1-Adult Household, 1-Adult Senior Household age 65+, 2-Adult Senior Household both age 65+) and who determine that the standard rate is too burdensome. 
  • Special Arrangements - Congregants who are unable to fulfill the Standard Community Commitment may apply for a confidential special arrangement.
  • Incremental Community Commitment - Congregants with financial capacity to support our sacred community in amounts above the Standard Community Commitment are asked to consider making an incremental commitment. This enables us to equitably fund our annual activities.
We ask you to renew your affiliation and continue your support of our sacred community for 2025.
STANDARD AFFILIATION:
Standard Community Commitment:  $3,937 plus Security Fee = $4,287

*Reductions from standard rate:
1-Adult Household (there is only 1 adult in household):  (- $1,892) = $2,045 plus $350 Security Fee = $2,395
2-Adult Senior Household, both age 65+:  (- $1,644) = $2,293 plus $350 Security Fee = $2,643
1-Adult Senior Household (only 1 adult in household, age 65+): (- $2,717) = $1,220 plus $350 Security Fee = $1,570

Out-of-Area Affiliation: (reside a minimum of 100 miles from the synagogue)
Out-of-Area: $330    
Out-of-Area-Sustaining: $900

Those requesting a Special Arrangement due to financial constraints should contact David Moss, Chair SA Committee (ShirShalomSA@gmail.com).
For congregants with SAs that have been finalized, the adjustment for your SA will be reflected in your online account and you should not fill out this form.

Capital Fund Contribution: Congregants in a 2-Adult or 1-Adult household affiliation (not senior) are also subject to a capital fund commitment, payable in 5 annual installments of $500 (2-Adult) or $250 (1-Adult) over the third (3) through seventh (7) years of affiliation. These can be included in monthly payments or as a lump sum payment.
 
Please Select Your Payment Type and Community Commitment Below.
As a reminder, all congregants are encouraged to use the standard $3,937 Community Commitment, plus $350 Security Fee, and an Incremental Community Commitment if possible. Category Allowances and Special Arrangements are available for those that qualify and for whom the appropriate rate is too burdensome.

PLEASE NOTE WHEN CHOOSING A RATE:
--To choose the rate for 2-Adult Senior Household, both congregants must be age 65+.
--To choose the rate for 1-Adult Household there must be only one adult in the household, and, if applicable, their unmarried dependent children, under twenty-six (26) years of age. A second non-Jewish or non-participating adult within the household is a congregant for all purposes and therefore this allowance does not apply.
--Out-of-Area affiliation requires congregant reside a minimum of one hundred miles from the synagogue.
