Invest in the present and future of the OFJCC! Your support truly makes a
difference. Join us in our quest to be the innovative and engaging center of
Jewish Life in Silicon Valley, accessible to all, where connections and memories
are made. Here are some of the many ways you can support us:
Venmo
You can give to the OFJCC directly on Venmo, by using the handle @OFJCC

Annual Gift
Gifts of cash are an easy way to support the OFJCC and may be 100% tax
deductible. You can pay online for
convenience or set up an automatic monthly donation.
Gifts of Appreciated Stock
By donating appreciated stocks, bonds or mutual fund shares that you have owned for more than a year, you may be able to avoid capital gains taxes and receive a charitable income tax deduction for the fair market value of your gift.
To learn more about the benefits of donating appreciated stock please click here.
To make a gift of appreciated stock to the Oshman Family Jewish Community Center please complete the Stock Transfer Form.
If you have questions about donating appreciated stock please contact Chief Development Officer Seth Leslie at (650) 223-8729 or [email protected].
Gifts of Bitcoin
Before you sell bitcoin and donate the after-tax proceeds, consider donating your bitcoin directly to the Oshman Family Jewish Community Center. Your tax deduction will be equal to the fair market value of the donated bitcoin (as determined by a qualified appraisal).
Your gift to the OFJCC will be larger because instead of paying capital gains taxes, the 501(c)(3) charity will receive the full value of your contribution.
To make a gift of Bitcoin to the Oshman Family Jewish Community Center, please contact Chief Development Officer Seth Leslie at (650) 223-8729 or [email protected].
Gifts through Wire Transfer
You may make a gift by transferring funds from your bank account to the OFJCC bank account. Please click here for wire transfer instructions. If you plan to make a gift this way, please inform Rachel Guedelhoefer at [email protected].
Matching Gifts
Double your impact!
Many companies will match employee contributions to non-profit organizations. Matching gifts are a convenient way to double your charitable contributions to the Oshman Family JCC. Ask your company's HR department if they have a matching gift program.

Tribute Gifts
Tribute gifts are a thoughtful way to celebrate milestones such as birthdays, b’nai mitzvot, anniversaries, and graduations, send condolences or get well messages to friends or family, or honor the passing of a loved one. If appropriate, we will send a card with your message to the honoree, in recognition of the tribute gift.
Vehicle Donations and In-Kind Gifts
Avoid the hassle of selling your vehicle and get a tax deduction too! Certain
other types of in-kind donations are also accepted. To inquire further, please
email Luiza Arutjunian at [email protected]. To donate your vehicle, contact www.careasy.org.
Shopping
AmazonSmile
An easy way to show your support is by shopping with AmazonSmile and designating
the OFJCC as your charitable organization of choice. Amazon will donate 0.5% of
the price of your eligible AmazonSmile purchases to us! Simply go to
smile.amazon.com, choose the OFJCC and start shopping!
Basementeer Program
We are officially Sports Basementeers! Sports Basement donates 10% of annual profits back to nonprofit organizations and schools.
The more people that choose the OFJCC as their nonprofit of choice, the more Sports Basement will give back to us.
eScrip
eScrip is a hassle-free way for you to raise funds for the Leslie Family
Preschool through everyday purchases made with eScrip merchants.
Just go to www.eScrip.com, register your credit, debit and grocery club cards, and
choose the OFJCC Preschool Parent Council. A percentage of all purchases made at
eScrip merchants will be given back to our Preschool.
