Annual Campaign
Thank you for supporting Yavneh’s Annual Campaign. Your gift has an immediate impact on our students, faculty and programs. The Annual Campaign assures that we have the resources for current programs and services to secure the exceptional programs that define Yavneh Day School.
Please use our secure giving form to make your tax-deductible gift online. You will receive an acknowledgment of your gift for your files. Yavneh’s fiscal year runs from July 1 to June 30.
Chai Challenge – 100% Family Participation in the Annual Campaign
With the goal of increasing participation in our annual campaign, six years ago, an anonymous donor established the Chai Challenge. When Yavneh reaches 100% family giving in the Annual Campaign, the school receives an additional donation. This year, when we meet the Chai Challenge, we will receive an additional $200,000. Yavneh families have reached 100% participation during each year of the Chai Challenge.
Additional Ways to Give
In addition to making your gift to Yavneh’s Annual Campaign, you can support Yavneh Day School through a number of other programs.
The Slavitt Family Scholarship Fund
Yavneh Day School is fortunate to have the Slavitt Family Scholarship Fund available to offer families financial assistance and the opportunity to attend Yavneh that otherwise may not have been able. Click here to donate to the fund.
Tribute Gifts
By recognizing a family member, special friend or loved one through the Yavneh Day School Tribute Program, you are directly supporting our innovative and remarkable programs and curriculum. Contributions may be made in any amount; often, they are made in increments of $18, a number signifying the Hebrew word meaning “life”. We will send an acknowledgment to the person or family you are honoring with your personalized note. The gift amount will not be disclosed. Make a Tribute Donation »
Stock Donations
Gifts of appreciated securities provide an income tax deduction equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of the gift, regardless what you paid for the stock. Instead of paying taxes on the gains, donated securities can offer significant tax advantages. If you are interested in taking advantage of this giving opportunity, please contact Lisa Lemke, Yavneh Day School’s Director of Development for more information.
Community Legacy Project
Partnering with eight Jewish organizations in Silicon Valley, Yavneh Day School is an active member in the Community Legacy Project. Jewish tradition teaches that one of our key responsibilities is to make the world a better place for future generations. For more information, please contact Lisa Lemke, Yavneh Day School’s Director of Development. We look forward to sharing the benefits of including future generations in your estate planning.
