Join Us in Shaping the Future

With your support, MJDS will continue to serve more Jewish families in the community through the Affordable Customized Tuition program.

Does your employer have a company match program? Participating in a corporate matching gift program allows you to double the impact of your donation to Milwaukee Jewish Day School, support the school in a more meaningful way, and contribute to both your personal and corporate social responsibility efforts—all at no extra cost to you. It’s an easy, effective way to make a bigger difference in your community.

By participating in a matching gift program, your donation can be matched by your employer, essentially doubling or even tripling the contribution to the school without any additional effort or expense on your part. For example, if you donate $100, and your employer offers a 1:1 match, the school will receive $200.

Your contribution, when matched, helps the school raise more funds for its programs, scholarships, and improvements. This can have a direct and meaningful impact on the school's ability to enhance educational experiences for students. Unsure if your employer matches gifts?

Donate with a thoughtful way to honor a simcha - birthday, anniversary, bar/bat mitzvah, graduation or condolences to those who have lost a loved one.

Endowed funds provide important security for an independent school – now and in the future. The more dependable and predictable the sources of income, the greater the stability and flexibility of the school. Endowed funds are created specifically to sustain an institution and its mission in perpetuity. We are sincerely appreciative of the visionary leaders, gifted educators, and dedicated families whose gifts have ensured that Milwaukee Jewish Day School will continue to change the lives of Jewish students now and in the future.

Endowments
Endowment gifts are a wonderful way to provide MJDS with permanent financial support that can be utilized year after year.

New endowment funds may be created beginning with a $50,000 gift or more and can be directed to support an area or purpose that is meaningful to you. In addition, these funds may be named in honor or memory of an individual.

Endowed funds ensure that MJDS is able to maintain long-term financial stability, provide affordable tuition to all our students, and continue to attract outstanding faculty and staff.

Special Use Funds
Special use funds are another meaningful way to support MJDS.

These funds, which can be made at any gift level, may be designated to support an area of interest or need at the school. Unlike endowments, special use funds are created with short term goals in mind and allow MJDS to access and utilize the entirety of the funds as directed by the donor.

To learn more about making an endowed or special use gift, please contact Rachel Maybird, Director of Philanthropy at rmaybird@mjds.org or 414-967-8312.
