How You Can Donate and Help Mekor

Sustain Jewish life in Center City

The generosity of members and visitors who make donations to our shul are vital to help us continue serving our congregation as well as members of the wider Jewish community.

This intake flow keeps the donation purpose explicit, preserves donor details for receipts, and standardizes classification across sources.

The thank-you note is distinct from the tax receipt. Qualifying gifts receive a separate standardized receipt for tax records.
