JPDS-NC Giving Opportunities

JPDS-NC values the contributions of parents, alumni parents, grandparents, staff, and friends in our extended community. We rely upon our generous supporters to strengthen our school and help cover the costs of our school initiatives. There are many ways to support JPDS-NC, whether as a volunteer committing time or as a contributor making a donation.


Annual Ru’ach Campaign
The Ru’ach Campaign is the school’s annual fundraising initiative that enables the school to carry out its educational programs. Salaries, professional development, tuition assistance, library and technology resources, arts and sports programs, and other enriching aspects of the school are funded in part through the annual Ru’ach Campaign.

Every child in our school directly benefits from every dollar you contribute to the Ru’ach Campaign. Contributions to the Ru’ach Campaign help cover current year operating expenses and help fill the gap between what tuition covers and the actual cost of educating each child. For the 2012-2013 school year the gap is $1,925 per student. This campaign is the foundation and focal point of our school’s fundraising efforts, allowing us to build support for the mission of our school on a consistent basis over time. Contribute to the Annual Ru'ach Campaign today!

Building Our Future Campaign
The Building Our Future Campaign is designed to address the long term needs of the Jewish Primary Day School of the Nation's Capital. Gifts to this campaign support extraordinary initiatives, including our second campus, scholarship, accessibility, and other efforts designed to advance our institution and secure a foundation of success. A generous matching gift is underway for contributions to this campaign. Please contact Adina Kanefield for more information.

Life-Cycle Gifts
Many people choose JPDS-NC as a vehicle for recognizing special life-cycle occasions, both joyous and sad. Donors make gifts in honor, memory, or celebration of an individual or event. Parents and grandparents also thank teachers with a gift to JPDS-NC. Whenever such a gift is made, JPDS-NC acknowledges it with an honor or memory notice. Make a gift in honor or memory of your loved ones today.

Purim Ball and Auction
The Purim Ball and Auction has been a JPDS-NC tradition for many years. It is a time for our community to join together and celebrate JPDS-NC and to honor individuals who have supported our school or who serve as leaders in our community. Additional funds for the school’s operating budget are raised through this event. Learn more at our Events page.

Rabin Lecture
Our annual Yitzhak Rabin Memorial Lecture provides an opportunity for JPDS-NC to highlight its connection to Israel. Past lecturers include Elena Kagan, Elie Wiesel, Condoleezza Rice, Yuval Rabin and other dignitaries and commentators. An outstanding curriculum complements the lecture and provides our students with insight into the life of Rabin, the history of Israel, and the value of conflict resolution and peace. JPDS-NC seeks grants and gifts to underwrite this program. Please visit our Events page for more information.
