Our new Temple Community Contribution program has been in place for several months and has been successful on many levels. We are especially gratified to observe these benchmarks in our membership renewals for 2021:

  • We received 17% more renewals by December 31, 2020, than we did by December 31, 2019.
  • Net membership contributions from those who renewed by December 31 increased 15% over the previous year.
  • Donations to the three funds listed on the membership renewal cards increased over last year. 
  • The positive feedback we received about the Temple Community Contribution program included many comments that the program reflects our values and our goals. Longtime member and TBE musician Mike Ross wrote: “TBE’s new Temple Community Contribution program is a welcome change. It is transparent and inclusive. It clearly demonstrates TBE’s need for funding and honors our shared values. My family, for one, responded by increasing our membership contribution, and we hope others will consider doing the same.”

The Temple Community Contribution program, introduced in 2020, encourages TBE members to reflect on our shared values when determining your annual membership contribution. To help guide decisions on giving, we shared clear and accessible information about TBE’s programs and finances, and we remain committed to transparency. If you have any questions about the Temple Community Contribution program or Temple’s finances, please feel free to contact Stefanie Kushner.
