Q: How long is this campaign going on?

Q. What is my donation funding?

A: Your contribution supports the following areas of giving at Ramaz that help to better our children's Ramaz education:

Scholarship ensures that children, regardless of financial need, have access to a high quality Jewish education.
Academic Excellence helps provide the highest level of education in both Jewish and general studies; prepares our students for a lifelong love of learning and their future careers; allows us to offer differentiated instruction through learning centers and enrichment; and supports us in cultivating the finest educators through professional advancement.
Student Life & Leadership supports co-curricular activities and learning opportunities outside the classroom that empower students to grow into the leaders of tomorrow.
Religious Life & Communal Values helps provide our students with opportunities to further connect with their Jewish identity, the State of Israel, and our global community.
The Ramaz Difference allows us to recognize each student’s different learning abilities and talents, and provide individual attention that builds self-esteem and leads to success. Ramaz’s mix of Jewish learning, general academic excellence, and good citizenship helps our students grow into well-rounded individuals who contribute to the Jewish community and society as a whole.

Q: I believe I have already given to this year's Annual Campaign. Can you confirm that you have me on your list?

A: Thank you for your support and dedication. Please contact the Ramaz Development Office at 212-774-8055 or development@ramaz.org and they can confirm your donation.

Q: Is this different from the capital and endowment campaign?

A: Yes. Your participation in the Annual Campaign supports the annual operating budget of the school, helping to fill the gap between the revenue raised from tuition and the cost required to operate the school. Our capital campaign, Building The Future Together: The Campaign for Ramaz & Kehilath Jeshurun, is an independent campaign that raises money to revitalize the Lower School and KJ facilities, as well as to build the Ramaz endowment to assure Ramaz's financial sustainability. If you have additional questions, please reach out to Kenny Rochlin at kroch@ramaz.org or call him at 212-774-8041.

Q: If I plan to attend the Annual Dinner, will my contribution be a part of the Annual Campaign?

A: Yes! The Annual Dinner is a highlight of the Annual Campaign. All those who purchase a ticket to attend the Dinner or place a virtual ad are supporters of the Annual Campaign. For more information on the Dinner, please visit www.ramaz.org/dinner.

Q: With whom do I speak if I want to be more involved—philanthropically or otherwise—with Ramaz?

A: You can reach out to Kenny Rochlin at kroch@ramaz.org or 212-774-8041, or contact the Development Office at development@ramaz.org or 212-774-8055.
