Vision Statement

To guarantee Adath Israel Congregation's financial stability for generations to come and to provide critical 
financial support to fund annual capital improvements and other anticipated annual expenditures.

Ten years ago it was recognized that annual member contributions could not sustain the financial needs of the congregation and that an additional steady stream of annual revenue was required. To this end, in 2006, the Board of Governors voted to proceed with the formation of an initial $5 million endowment to be referred to as the Legacy Fund. This is but one of a number of steps deemed necessary for the congregation to sustain the growing cost of our programs and is consistent with action taken by over 70 per cent of the conservative congregations in North America.

The Legacy Fund initiative represents the largest and most ambitious campaign in Adath Israel's more than 100 year history. To secure our future we have to build a strong endowment base today. The synagogue plays a vital role in all of our lives and today especially during these difficult times for the Jewish community, the support of our membership for this important initiative is crucial to the successful continuation of our synagogue as we know it today.
