President's Message
Mark Wolkow
Giving
Have you ever thought about why you give? Why you write a check to
a non-profit organization; a school from which you graduated? A
synagogue to which you belong? I mean really sitting down and
making a conscious decision based on criteria that will inform how
much to give and what those dollars will accomplish.
We do it every couple of years. Because needs change; goals change;
organizations change; and our ability to contribute changes. Some of
the things that we consider about how much we give are: Does the
organization really need the funding, or could they get along with less?
Is the organization meeting significant needs of its
community/members? Does it have a large number of potential
donors or does it rely chiefly on its members? Are our dollars going
directly to the mission, or is there significant fundraising overhead? Is it
benefitting people “close to home”, i.e. people who we know and care
about? Is it important that this institution continue into the future?

And each time we do this, Temple Adas Shalom rises to the top of our
donation list because it checks the right boxes for every question
above. And every year, between 60 and 65% of our donations wind up at
TAS, and it feels just right. We also set a goal for how much in total we
plan to donate, and then do the math to get to a number.
I encourage every TAS member to look at your donations, ask the
questions that are important to you; consider how your contributions
will benefit TAS and other causes, and make your generous donations. I
am hopeful that TAS will come out on or near the top of your list!
