2024-2025 Membership Give From the Heart (Say What You Pay)

Instead of “traditional dues”, you decide your Sustaining Pledge to Manetto Hill Jewish Center through our Give From the Heart program.

Give From the Heart allows our members to decide what their pledge will be for the year to be a member of our congregation.  This choice based upon the importance that Manetto Hill Jewish Center has in your life, your desire to be part of our amazing congregation and your personal financial status.  It is that simple.  You say what you pay.  You give, from the heart.

What is the Sustaining Pledge?   The Sustaining Pledge is the number, that if every congregant family pledged, MHJC would not have to raise one penny to achieve a balanced budget.

We know and understand that every family’s financial situation is different.  Every family does not have the same ability to pledge the same amount, and that is okay.  We want you to pledge an amount that you are comfortable with.  You give from your heart and know that you are a member of our congregation.

Our goal is to be as transparent as we can with our income and expenses.  We want our congregants to make an informed decision and to know that for Manetto Hill Jewish center to have sustained success, we all must Give From the Heart.

The 2024-2025 Sustaining Pledge is $2,972.85.  

Here are examples of some of the annual costs per family at Manetto Hill Jewish Center: Rabbi Neil will cost almost $800 per family. Staff salary and taxes are almost $600 per family. Utilities and maintenance are over $350 per family. Security guards are nearly $229 per family. Our mortgage is nearly $200 per family. No matter what you pledge, these bills must be paid.

Paying our expenses is something that we all must rely on each other for. We are a congregation of many, but we have one common goal. Our goal is to have MHJC thrive and survive and be here for the next 50+ years serving all our needs. We cannot do it alone.
