Member pledges are the financial foundation of our temple, and strong financial support from our community enables Woodlands to provide the educational opportunities, Jewish programming, and celebrations that we cherish. Member pledges are the financial foundation of our temple, providing 70% of our annual revenue. Your financial commitment and strong financial support ensures Woodlands fulfills its duty to be a vibrant synagogue, accessible to all.
The “sustaining level” for membership this year will be $3,300. The “sustaining level” is the average amount per household we need to raise to meet our expenses.The costs of running Woodlands are the shared responsibility of all members, as they have been for nearly six decades. Community support at or above the sustaining level will help us to ensure that the budget is fully funded and keep Woodlands accessible to all regardless of their financial status.
