People, Place, Purpose: The Campaign for Rodeph Sholom School
In 2016, Rodeph Sholom School embarked on a $11,500,000 campaign - the largest fundraising effort in the history of the school. In June of 2023, we completed this campaign. The purpose of the campaign was twofold: to secure a stronger endowment and to provide physical environments appropriate for our three divisions.
We are grateful to the UJA-Federation of New York that launched a Day School Challenge early in the campaign. With their encouragement and support, we raised $7,500,000 to augment our endowment. The Day School Challenge program serves as a matching source for annual distributions on endowment dollars. As of today, our endowment revenue has tripled thanks to the UJA and our many donors and has provided our school with a predictable revenue source. These generous donors recognized the great opportunity the Day School Challenge would provide for our school, and we are pleased to acknowledge them and all our campaign donors.
“Rodeph Sholom School is more than a school; it is a home away from home for our children, a place that nourishes their minds and souls, and a community for our whole family. Because we are so grateful for all these priceless gifts that Rodeph Sholom School has given us, we always make sure to give back.” – Erica Fishbein and Jeff Newelt P’29, ’31
