Chai Circle

A Donor Recognition Program

What is the Chai Circle?

The Chai Circle Program is made up of committed Beth Chaim members who make gifts that go above and beyond. Chai Circle donors are visionaries who give a minimum of $2,500 to Beth Chaim during the 2023 – 2024 fiscal year. This can be achieved through a Hineini gift of at least $2,500 or through any combination of Hineini and other gifts made during the course of the fiscal year. These gifts allow us to keep our doors open and maintain a financially healthy congregation. Please consider becoming part of our Chai Circle Community.

How do I become a Chai Circle Donor?

Many of our Chai Circle donors will begin with their annual Hineini pledge and continue contributing to Congregation Beth Chaim throughout the year. Chai Circle members donate to the High Holy Day and Giving Tuesday campaigns as well as at other times during the year.  They help sponsor spring events like this year’s Godfather’s Meshuggener Wedding and next year’s anticipated Installation of Cantor Goldstein. Your total charitable giving (excluding school tuition and other fees) to Beth Chaim over the course of the fiscal year determines your Chai Circle Level.

The Chai Circle Giving Levels are:
Chai                       $2500 - $3599
     Double Chai          $3600 - $5399
   Triple Chai             $5400 - $9999
                Book of Life            $10,000 and above

How do we recognize Chai Circle gifts?

Your Chai Circle donations will be greatly appreciated and recognized publicly several times during each year, including in a final report at the end of the year. If you wish your gift to be anonymous, we will honor that request as well.
