Giving to the OJC

Like every volunteer-driven organization, the OJC thrives on the energy, kavanah (spirit), participation and financial contributions of its members. No gift is too small; all are deeply appreciated.

You may want your gift to support targeted programs and services for which you have a special affinity or passion. So, we've created many giving opportunities to ensure that any gift can be directed to a specific OJC program or service. 

Below is a list of our standing funds. We invite you to pick one or more that resonate with you. Then, click here and from the dropdown list on the form that appears, select the fund to which you'd like to direct your donation.

There are many ways to give and we welcome the opportunity to discuss what works best for you and your family. For assistance with planning a gift which will benefit OJC now, or in the future, please contact the synagogue office. 

Matching Gifts

Many employers sponsor programs that match charitable contributions made by their employees, allowing you to double or even triple the value of your gift.

Stocks & Securities

Gifting appreciated stock, bonds and mutual funds may offer a number of tax benefits. Making charitable gifts with appreciated stock is a highly tax-efficient strategy and can be helpful if you need or want to rebalance. Stocks and securities may be donated via electronic transfer or by receipt of stock certificates. If you donate stock directly to OJC (or make contributions of appreciated securities to a Donor Advised Fund), you are able to deduct the full fair market value of the stock and avoid any capital gains tax on the appreciation. Using this method to make your contribution is easy and quick! Pleas contact the synagogue office for further assistance.

Charitable Estates & Planned Giving

Through bequests, life insurance and retirement plans, your investment in Ramah Nyack will ensure Jewish camping for future generations.

And from the bottom of our hearts, we thank you in advance for your generosity -- and your commitment to the mission and values of the OJC.
