Chai Partners - Monthly Giving

The dedication and generosity of Chai Partner supporters have made it possible for Chabad Mercer Island to:

 -- Share Jewish learning and teaching with those who can’t afford to learn it otherwise.

-- Give children scholarships so financial hardship doesn’t stop them from learning about their heritage.

-- Create a safe place for people to explore their Jewish heritage without being judged for lack of practice

By becoming a Chai Partner, your support ensures our ability to focus on inspiring you and others, without interruption. 

Chai = Life. You can be the lifeblood of the organization. you can be the heart.

Becoming a Chai Partner is as easy as 1-2-3 and is a convenient and efficient way to make your support of the Jewish community go further.

1.) Decide on the amount you’d like to contribute 

2.) Fill out the Chai Partner Sign Up Form (below) following the instructions for your chosen payment method.

3.) Sit back and relax, knowing you are inspiring a community and making a difference in the future of Jewish life on Mercer Island. The monthly gift you select will automatically be contributed to Chabad Mercer Island through your credit card or checking account (like an automatic check), on the first of the month (or next business day). 

Over 20% of local funding comes from generous Chai Partners like you who have made it possible for Chabad Mercer Island to inspire. 

Will you show your support for an inspired Jewish future? 

It’s incredible that for less money than buying a sandwich and a cup of coffee each day, you can inspire a Jewish child to love their heritage! 

Thank you for joining as a Chai Partner today.

What if I wish to change the amount of my monthly contribution?

You are welcome to change the amount at any time. Simply call, send a letter or email us and we will be glad to assist you.

What if there’s a change with my credit card or my card has expired? 

Please call us or mail us a note informing us that you changed credit cards and we’ll update the information. 

What if I change banks?

Please mail us a note informing us that you changed checking accounts and include a voided check from your new account. 

When will contributions be withdrawn?

Charges and withdrawals take place on the first of the month. If you prefer a different day, let us know and we will accommodate accordingly. Note: if the first falls on a weekend or legal holiday the withdrawals will occur on the following business day.

What do I use for tax purposes?

We will be mailing you a giving receipt at the beginning of each year. If at any time you would like a summary of your contributions, please contact us and we would be glad to send one to you. 

Do I need to pledge each year to renew my Chai partnership?

No, your monthly draft will continue at the current level unless you’d like to change it or cancel.
