Annual Dues & Donations

Monmouth Reform Temple relies on your financial support to keep our doors open. We do not set a fixed membership rate, request financial documents, or turn anyone away based on ability to pay. Instead, we ask each member to consider what participation in this community means to them and to contribute accordingly. For some that may be their yearly pledge, while others regularly donate to the tzedakah box, our fundraisers or in honor of life cycle events. However you choose to spread your financial gift, please know you are making our continued strength possible.
