Why does the school fundraise?

Our Annual Campaign funds go directly to our students. Our school is dedicated to going “beyond the curriculum” to offer our student a wide variety of enriching, thought provoking and creative programs. Your dollars help us meet this goal.

Why should I give to the Annual Campaign when I already pay tuition?

Our Annual Campaign is the cornerstone of our advancement program and plays a critical role in helping the Azrieli Schools maintain a high level of academic excellence. The expense of operating a state-of-the-art academic institution requires enormous capital that exceeds the revenue from tuition alone. Simply put, tuition alone and government subsidies do not cover the full cost of educating our children, thus forcing our schools to rely on other sources of funding such as community and fundraising. Without a regular, successful fundraising campaign we wouldn’t be able to offer all of these enhanced programs to our students, your children.

Where do gifts to the Annual Campaign go?

Every gift to the Leaders of Tomorrow campaign is important and valued. Your support ensures that Talmud Torah and Herzliah students can continue to benefit from an outstanding, well rounded education. Monies raised support student success and enable the school to continue to educate and graduate strong, dynamic Jewish leaders, who have the skills to move on to higher education in the fields of their choice, along with a deep commitment to the future of the Jewish community and the Jewish people.

Furthermore, Annual Campaign Funds have helped us launch a variety of new dynamic and interactive programs. From Jewish Court of All Time to Suzuki Violin and Robotics at the elementary level, to Jewish Ethics, Band and Hockey at the high school, each program is designed to enhance engagement and ignite our students’ passion for learning.

Your gifts make a positive difference in the lives of our students. Each gift is incredibly important and means the world to us.

How much should I give?

We realize that giving decisions are personal. All gifts to our school are greatly appreciated! We are grateful to receive every gift, no matter the amount. Every dollar counts and makes a difference.

Can I make my gifts in installments?

Yes you can! We are pleased to accept a gift with any payment plans that work for you. You may spread out your gifts in monthly, quarterly, or even annual payments to facilitate your financial needs.

Will I receive a tax receipt?

Yes. We are a registered charity and all donations are fully tax-deductible. Donation receipts will be mailed to you by the school after we have processed your gift or, if you choose to make your gift using our online secure server, you will immediately receive a PDF email receipt.

How are donors recognized?

All donors are acknowledged on our school’s website at the end of each school year, as well as in the fall edition of our Info @ Talmud Torah | Herzliah Newsletter.
