Ways to Give
A Culture of Generosity
Supporting Chicago Jewish Day School is an investment in a vibrant, multi-denominational community that nurtures the minds and spirits of its students. Together, your generosity directly impacts our students, faculty, and campus community.
Annual Campaign
Our Annual Campaign raises the dollars that aren’t covered by tuition. These dollars help provide the day-to-day support the school needs to run smoothly and effectively.
Naming Opportunities
Create a lasting legacy at CJDS through a naming opportunity on our permanent campus. Honor a loved one, celebrate a meaningful milestone, or demonstrate your commitment to Jewish education while making a lasting impact on generations of students.
Make a Tribute Gift
Honor or remember a loved one with a tribute gift to Chicago Jewish Day School. Celebrate a simcha, express gratitude, mark a milestone, or remember someone special while supporting our students and school community.
We will send a personalized acknowledgment card to notify the honoree or their family of your thoughtful gift. Your generosity helps sustain the exceptional, values-based education that defines CJDS.
Sponsor a Day of Learning
Your tribute will be recognized in the Chadashot and on the Mercaz Message Board. More importantly, your generosity helps sustain the extraordinary Jewish day school education that inspires CJDS students to learn, lead, and live their values every day.
