Four tiers represent different ranges of financial support so that our members can decide which tier represents your situation and relationship to CJC. The options are:
Tzedakah – Helping others [$1500 to $2000+]
Shamash – One who serves [$1200 to $1499]
Mitzvah – Good deed [$800 to $1199]
Ruach – Spirit [any amount is great]
Each level of contribution is valued and appreciated.

What do financial contributions to CJC go towards?
Financial contributions are essential to sustain and grow our thriving CJC. We have been operating in the red for 5 of the last 6 years. If each member unit contributed $1,200 – 1,500/year, CJC would become financially sustainable for now and for years to come.
The costs of operating CJC include support for: our wonderful spiritual leaders, holiday celebrations, Jewish learning, social action initiatives, and other efforts to strengthen the Jewish community on our beautiful coast.
We recognize that each person’s and family’s ability to contribute financially is different and can change over time. We also recognize that there are many additional ways people contribute to CJC, such as volunteering. We ask that you give as best you can to ensure the heart of our community thrives to support a diverse, welcoming connection to Jewish life on the Coastside.
