The work of NCJW/Essex is possible only with the generous contributions of our donors and supporters. We strive for diversity in funding to create long-term financial stability and to allow us to direct your dollars to ensure our mission continues for years to come.
CHAI CIRCLE
Chai Circle donors provide a strong and sustaining annual commitment that allows the organization to operate and thrive. Chai Circle grew this year with the addition of a new giving tier, and benefits that highlight the value of Chai Circle members’ overall support in meaningful ways throughout the year.
