A vision of looking forward to something greater – a vision of what life might be – has guided the Jewish people for thousands of years.
The same vision has guided Shalom Park since its inception in 1986 and has touched the lives of many thousands of people, providing a central Jewish meeting place for our community.
Shalom Park is a place where generation after generation will come together to remember and celebrate our rich Jewish history. We can each do our part and make a difference. Your financial support and commitment is an important part of Shalom Park’s legacy to serve future generations.
Endowments have been established to support the Foundation's mission of connecting families and sustaining traditions.
The endowments serve as a perpetual financial resource to ensure the Park’s long-term sustainability and growth, and to provide annual income to support the budgetary needs of Shalom Park.
The following are the Foundation’s current endowments:
- The Leon Levine Foundation Endowment for Shalom Park
- The Harry and Jeannette Weinberg Endowment for the Foundation of Shalom Park
- Donald H. and Barbara K. Bernstein Foundation of Shalom Park Continuity Fund
- Foundation of Shalom Park Endowment Fund
- Alan and Lee Blumenthal Endowment Fund
- Franki Anjelica Clement Endowment Fund
Donors contributing a minimum donation of $50,000 may establish a named endowment fund provided the initial endowment fund has a minimum donation of $25,000. Named funds will be recognized in publications and reports to honor donor contributions.
The Foundation of Shalom Park is one of 10 participating community partners in Charlotte’s Create Your Jewish Legacy (CJL) initiative.
Through CJL we have committed ourselves to be a part of an effort to build a strong, vibrant community now and in the future with bequests for permanent endowments.
CJL promotes the message that all of us, regardless of age, wealth, or affiliation, have the ability to make a difference for future generations. Our CJL model, led by the Foundation for the Charlotte Jewish Community (FCJC) is modeled after successful programs already established in more than 30 cities including San Diego, Kansas City, Hartford, St. Louis and Richmond.
