www.shalomdch.org

Here for goodJewish values are about “doing good.” And when we do good things, good things happen—in ourselves, in our community, and in the world.

WE HELPGoing beyond simply caring for others is in our blood. Jewish values inspire us to right wrongs, to speak up, to repair what’s broken.

WE ENGAGEBy organizing events that captivate all ages and interests, we express our love of Jewish culture—whether it’s learning, playing, or just noshing.

WE BELONGJoining this vibrant community that’s open to all deepens our connections to each other and creates bonds that last a lifetime.

Every dollar raised goes towards our purpose: TO HELP, ENGAGE, AND CREATE A SENSE OF BELONGING. The money raised through our annual campaign and other fundraisers directly funds the expenses needed to provide these programs and services.

Mitzvah Day 2015

Note from the presidentDear Durham Chapel Hill Community,

As we reflect back on the past year, we should be very proud of many accomplishments. We began the year under the leadership of Lisa Brachman as our interim CEO, which allowed us the time and space to complete our CEO search and hire Jill Madsen. Since Jill’s arrival, we have been able to install many new faces, creating a strong staff management team. We began rebranding the organization around concepts of helping and engaging, to move towards better transparency on how we spend the important dollars we raise. We closed the 2015 campaign raising $713,000. We launched an effort to reduce the community debt, raising over $600k towards that debt. We increased the level of scholarships and support given to make camp accessible both financially and for campers with special needs. These efforts led to national recognition by the National Inclusion Project for the work we do. And we increased external allocations by 10%. So many important steps in helping us meet our mission and do good for the community. Thank you for all of your support in making these successes possible.

Josh RoseBoard President
