YOUR ANNUAL FINANCIAL COMMITMENT TO THE COMMUNITY

Germantown Jewish Centre belongs to all of us. Annual financial commitments to this community are our main source of revenue. Your commitment covers GJC's operating costs, sustaining our clergy, staff, facilities, adult and youth education, programs, ritual services, festival celebrations, and so much more. GJC's membership year runs from January through December. To accommodate new members joining us at varying times of the year, your annual commitment will be prorated to the date you join.

We are grateful that so many GJC members can provide financial support at or above our standard dues level, but we know that dues are not one-size-fits-all. One of our core values is that finances are never a barrier to membership, so our approach to dues begins with a conversation. Below are a few questions to help us begin that conversation.

What type of membership are you joining with?

Are you joining as an Associate Member? (meaning you pay full dues at another shul)

Associate dues are $927 ($77.25/month). Does this fit your budget?

GJC is happy to offer you an adjustment on your dues. We want your annual financial commitment to the community to be both meaningful for you and sustainable for your budget. Some people start with multiples of chai ($54/month or $432/year, etc). Please let us know below what amount is sustainable and meaningful for you.
