TAE Partner Recognition Program
Temple Adat Elohim partners have the opportunity to deepen their impact by becoming Pillar members. This level of giving provides essential financial support beyond standard dues and fees, helping to enhance temple programs, services, and experiences that dues alone cannot fully fund.
Pillar members receive special recognition during the High Holy Days and are acknowledged on display boards in the foyer.
Annual Campaign Levels of Giving:
- Visionaries – $50,000 and above
- Guardians – $10,000 to $49,999
- Benefactors – $5,000 to $9,999
- Patrons – $2,500 to $4,999
- Mentors – $750 to $2,499
How it works:
Pillar membership is based on cumulative donations to designated funds during each fiscal year, which ends on June 30, and resets annually.
Become a Pillar Member by:
- Joining Temple Adat Elohim at the Sustainer or Builder Partnership Level, or
- Contributing $750 or more above and beyond Congregant or Partner dues within the fiscal year.*
Eligible contributions include, but are not limited to:
- High Holy Days Pledges
- Mishloach Manot Gifts
