Investing in Sinai Akiba

Philanthropy at SAA 

For almost 60 years, Sinai Akiba has inspired generations through an empowering education combining academic rigor, joyous exploration, and Jewish values. Our rich curriculum and dedicated faculty create an extraordinary environment where every child feels valued.

To sustain this excellence, we invite our community to invest in Sinai Akiba. As families, educators, and supporters, we are partners in our students' success, sharing the responsibility of raising the next generation and ensuring a vibrant Jewish future.

There are a variety of ways you can support the School:

Sinai Akiba Fund

The Sinai Akiba Fund is the annual fundraising campaign for Sinai Akiba Academy. This initiative supports our day-to-day operations and provides critical resources for all of our students. 

Endowment Funds

SAA benefits from several endowment funds that provide both immediate and long-term benefits to the school. Unlike the Sinai Akiba Fund, restricted gifts to our endowment are not available for immediate use. Only the interest earned from the endowment is available. This is what provides a reliable income stream in perpetuity. We welcome new gifts to our endowment and are so grateful for the vision and generosity of families in our community who have established endowment funds.

Capital Projects and Restricted Gifts

Additional ways to support SAA include directed gifts to fund a specific program, or a capital project to enhance or repurpose a particular space. Restricted gifts tend to be significant in nature and must be in line with SAA’s core values and strategic priorities. 

Lifecycle Tribute Gifts

Lifecycle Tribute Gifts are another way to donate to Sinai Akiba and mark a lifecycle event simultaneously. We send personalized tribute cards to the family you are honoring, and these gifts can be conveniently made (here) or by calling the Development Office at (310) 481-3295.

    Many corporations will match gifts for their employees through their own programs, thus doubling your contribution to Sinai Akiba Academy. Hundreds of companies support education through these programs. We will recognize your employer in all donor recognition materials, and if you own your own business, gifts can be made in the name of your business.
  • Pledges

    A pledge may enable a larger contribution, and you can spread the payments over the fiscal year. The development office can set up a convenient payment schedule using either your credit card or personal bank account. 
  • Stock and Appreciated Securities

    Gifts of appreciated stock enable you to receive a tax deduction on the full value of the stock at the time of the sale, regardless of what you paid for the stock. Instead of paying taxes on the gains, donated securities can offer you significant tax advantages.
  • Planned and Deferred Gifts

    Information about planned gifts and estate planning, including charitable trusts, bequests, pooled income funds, charitable gift annuities and insurance gifts, is available through the Development Office.
