Kehillah Jewish Education Fund

The Kehillah Jewish Education Fund is dedicated to funding the Jewish day schools across Chicago. By doing such, the Kehillah Fund assists in creating a funnel for the worldwide Jewish community to support all Jewish children and ensure they receive a full and proper education. In turn this perpetuates Jewish identity and leaders in the generations to come.

We implement a communal funding system to support the future of Jewish education. Some of the ways in which we create this funding are; automatic monthly donations, yearly donations, special education campaigns, neediest children campaigns, one time gifts, legacy donations, learning sponsorship and community advertisements.

We have a team that works diligently on campaigns, sponsorship, and prospect/donor relations and cultivation. Currently we process the pledges of over 1500 members and issue over $60,000 monthly to our local day schools on a per capita student enrollment basis.

We've established a highly effective and efficient system to ensure that funding reaches all our schools every month with a simple, single sign-up and pledge. Each month we process the pledges of over 1500 members and issue over $60,000 in total to our schools on a per capita student enrollment basis. We've been doing this for over 120 consecutive months and directed more than $10 million of communal funding to-date, since 2004, helping our ten local schools provide outstanding education, rich programming, and extensive student services.
