There Are Many Ways to Make A Gift!

Gifts of Cash

The simplest way to give, cash gifts may be made online or by mailing a check to the address below. You may choose to make a one-time gift or to set a recurring monthly donation.

Please send checks to: Temple De Hirsch Sinai, 1511 E. Pike St., Seattle, WA 98122

Corporate Matching

Many companies will match contributions made by their employees, enabling you to leverage your generosity by doubling or even tripling the impact of your gift. Check with your employer to see if they have a formal or informal matching program. Because Temple is a religious institution, some companies may qualify the specific funds you may contribute to at Temple to be eligible for a match. Learn more here.

Donor-Advised Funds (DAF) and Family Foundations

DAFs are the fastest-growing giving method and a tax-efficient way to manage charitable donations. Donor Advised Funds allow donors to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants from the fund over time.

Temple De Hirsch Sinai is proud to partner with several of the United States’ largest Donor Advised Fund sponsor organizations.

If you are a DAF holder at Fidelity Charitable, DAFgiving360™ (formerly Schwab Charitable), or BNY Mellon, you can easily make a designation through the DAFDirect window on this page.

Temple also welcomes grants from family and community foundations. Please note: grants from DAFs or foundations will not appear on a tax statement from Temple.

Sponsorship Opportunities

Another approach to supporting our community that many people find meaningful is underwriting a specific experience or event. The sponsorship may be tied to celebrating a lifecycle event or it may be linked to values that are especially important to you. Learn more about sponsorship opportunities and what may be right for you.

Appreciated Securities

You can transfer securities directly to Temple and receive significant tax benefits. You should discuss the specific tax implications of giving appreciated securities with your personal advisors. Learn more about how to make an electronic transfer from your brokerage account.

Qualified Charitable Distribution from an Individual Retirement Account

If you are 70 ½ years of age or older, you may make gifts by rolling over $100,000 from an IRA and pay no income tax on the amount that has been transferred. Please consult your tax advisor to learn more about this tax-advantaged giving option.
