What is a Gesher l'Kesher Fund?

Think of it as your own private tzedakah box, with money that you can request to be given away to charity every year in your own name.

How does the fund work?

You start your fund by making a deposit at the Jewish Federation of Greater St. Paul with a minimum of $360. Every year you choose which charity you would like to donate to from your fund. Learn more!

How do I get started?

To sign up for a fund, fill out a Gesher l’Kesher Form that you can get from your synagogue or the St. Paul Federation. Return it to the St. Paul Federation office. You can either send it with your check for $360 or simply let us know to watch for gifts from your friends and relatives.
