Designate your gift to a KSDS Fund

A donor may also choose to contribute to a fund created, endowed, or named by someone they know to honor that person’s legacy or strengthen their community connections.

Chai Society
At KSDS, we are honored to recognize our most generous supporters through our Chai Society. The Chai Society is for donors who contribute $1,800 or more annually, providing vital support to the mission of KSDS and playing a key role in sustaining and enriching our school community.
Chai Society members will receive an invitation to our Annual Chai Society Event, as well as access to other special stewardship events throughout the year.
For more information about the Chai Society and how you can support KSDS, please contact Rebecca Rudel. We are deeply grateful for your commitment to our community and look forward to connecting with you!
The Schneider Fund
A KSDS tradition for almost 15 years, the Schneider Fund raises tens of thousands of dollars each year. Each class in the Middle School has its own fund, which welcomes donations for any reason: a memorial, to honor someone, or to celebrate a birthday or another major milestone.
The Schneider Fund collects money from donations to split between a tzedakah fund in Israel and a subsidy to help lower the cost for each student to attend their 8th grade Israel trip.
You’re also welcome to make a donation in advance of your own child’s Schneider Fund year. That money will be tracked and counted toward your child’s 8th grade Israel trip and the tzedakah fund that your child’s class selects. If you wish to donate to the Schneider Fund, please leave a check and a note with the details of your donation in the Lower School Office and designate which class year you are donating for. Please include your name and address, and the name and address of the honoree, so that the committee can send an acknowledgment card. Questions about The Schneider Fund? Contact Robyn Blum.
