TOTAL $ RAISED: $12,603,447
TOTAL # GIFTS: 431
This is a proud moment for our congregation. We are so grateful that we have reached this milestone.
Because of you, what we originally only imagined is now actualized! Not only are we standing on a firm financial footing with no debt, a substantial building reserve, and an increased endowment, and as of Fall of 2023, we can walk into our building knowing we have at once created a more secure space, and at the very same time, more opportunity to come together communally with modern, flexible spaces that meet the needs of today and tomorrow.
This campaign’s success is due to an extraordinary mosaic of so many dedicated volunteers and donors from beginning to end. Thank you very much to each of our volunteers and the 420 donors for investing in NSCI and supporting this campaign–the highest level of participation we have received for a fundraising endeavor. Each and every gift you offer has brought us to this moment. You have made the plans we have to make NSCI’s future a reality!
NSCI is our synagogue. It belongs to each and all of us, so the ultimate success of this effort will not only be measured by what we are able to physically construct but also, if not ultimately, by how many of our congregants participate in the Imagine the Possible campaign.
—Rabbi Wendi Geffen
