welcome you to join the list of the Temple Tribute Funds above. Several opportunities exist
for new fund purposes to benefit Temple Israel. Of course, you may obtain
naming rights for your fund. Funds must be structured to have a beginning
principal amount of at least $10,000, and only amounts above this floor may be
utilized for expenditures each year. Various creative methods exist for
initial funding. Contact either the President, or Treasurer, of Temple
Israel for more information and to discuss potential purposes for new
funds. The establishment of all new funds and their purposes are subject
to the approval of the Temple Israel Board of Trustees.
