Timing matters

To count for 2026, your gift must be made by December 31, 2026. In general:

  • Online or credit card: counts in the year it is charged. Gifts made online by 11:59 PM on December 31 count for 2026.

  • Check by mail: counts on the date you mail it. Please make sure it is postmarked by December 31.

  • Stock and securities: counts when the shares arrive in the shul’s account, not when you ask your broker. Please start stock transfers by mid-December to allow time.

  • Donor-advised fund and IRA gifts: sponsors and custodians are busiest in December. Please request your gift early.

Every way to give

  1. Give online. Fast and secure, by card.

  2. Stock and crypto. Giving appreciated stock or cryptocurrency may help you avoid capital gains tax.

  3. Donate your car. Turn a vehicle you no longer need into tzedakah.

  4. Donor-advised fund. Recommend a grant to Kesser Shem Tov.

  5. IRA gift (age 70½+). A Qualified Charitable Distribution can count toward your required minimum distribution.

  6. By check. Make the check payable to Kesser Shem Tov and mail it to 170 Main Ave, Passaic, NJ 07055.
