Giving Day

This year's Giving Day will look and feel a little different.

Over the past eight-and-a-half years, the annual mortgage/interest payment has been made on time, due to the generous support of our Federation congregations and from individuals who have consistently donated to our Let the Children Come campaign through efforts like our annual Giving Day in September. It was this support that enabled us to pay off Bond "B" last year, an impressive three years ahead of schedule. This put us in an advantageous position to address a growing need.

Due to rising enrollment, there is a need for new classroom space on campus. Throughout the past few years. plans have been developed to accommodate this need. Those plans were shared with the General Board at the February 2026 meeting and were then approved the following May.

Now, we have the opportunity to renegotiate our mortgage and fund this classroom expansion, an effort we are calling Let More Children Come.

Matching gift of $1,500,000

A very generous donor in the Federation, who would love to see the new mortgage become more manageable, has put up a TRUE dollar-for-dollar match of $1.5M. If this match is met, our estimated annual mortgage will be reduced by nearly $200,000 per year!

Giving Day is an important part of helping us reach our financial goals in preparation for the classroom building project. Please consider giving your financial support this September and being a part of this monumental matching gift opportunity. 

We encourage everyone to participate with small, medium, or large gifts—every contribution makes a difference!
