Matching Gift Campaign 2025

Annual Matching Campaign 2025

Support inclusive, egalitarian Judaism in Lawrence!

Last year, thanks to the incredible generosity of our friends and members, the LJCC was able to raise $26K as part of our annual matching campaign. These funds were essential to meeting our budgetary needs and, moreover, to our on-going growth as the inclusive, egalitarian Jewish home for Douglas County and beyond. 

This year, we are coming to you again to ask you to consider giving tzedakah in support of local, independent, pluralistic Jewish community. These donations constitute nearly half of our budget!

Your gift is crucial to
  • maintaining a welcoming and accessible space to gather and worship
  • sustaining our outreach efforts and fostering connection within our congregation
  • continuing our vibrant programming — from religious school to adult education to holiday observance — as well as supporting the staff that helps make that happen

With many thanks to Susan Elkins & Jack Winerock, who will match all donations up to $10k!

"We wish to honor all who make the LJCC remarkable, including the Board and its officers, service leaders, committees, our dedicated staff, and those individuals who continue to step up whenever help is needed. You are the lifeblood of this community. We salute you! Yours, Susan & Jack."

Making your donation is easy. To contribute online, visit our donate page and select the "Annual Matching Gift Campaign 5786" from the "Type" dropdown list. You can also contribute by check made payable to "Lawrence Jewish Community Inc." To give by other means, such as appreciated stock, please contact the LJCC office. Every contribution is valuable and we are truly grateful for your support.
