Support

Your generous support of Sutton Place Synagogue ensures we are able to offer our schools, programs, and services to all in Midtown East and beyond who are in search of Jewish life that will inspire, educate, and engage.

You can make a gift online at any time by clicking here. You can also make a donation by mailing a check made out to Sutton Place Synagogue to 225 East 51st Street, NY, NY 10022 or on the phone by calling 212-593-3300.

Donations of all sizes allow us to thrive as a congregation and as a community. They are also wonderful ways to celebrate a simcha, mark a life cycle event, or remember a loved one.

We are always excited to talk about how you’d like to support SPS - you can be in touch at any time with Abby Johnson, Director of Membership and Development, at ajohnson@spsnyc.org and 212-593-3300x112.

Thank you for your generosity.

WAYS TO GIVE

You can also choose to sponsor a kiddush after services or sponsor the Virtual Shabbat Fund to mark an occasion during the weekly Shabbat services. To see what dates are available, contact Abby at ajohnson@spsnyc.org

  • SPS is always thriled to receive support via a grant from a family foundation or a donor advised fund. Please look for us under “Jewish Center for United Nations.”

  • You can double (or sometimes even triple) the impact of your gift by checking to see if your employer matches charitable gifts made by employees. Talk to your Human Resources representative today about eligibility and instructions; if you cannot locate us under the name Sutton Place Synagogue, look for us under Jewish Center for the United Nations. If a match is on its way or you have questions, please contact Abby at ajohnson@spsnyc.org.

  • If you are over 70 years old, you can make a donation to SPS directly from your IRA account. The withdrawal of funds from the IRA is not taxable to you.

    2. The charitable contribution is paid directly from your IRA to SPS

    3. Your total IRA charitable gifts do not exceed $100,000
