Now more than ever, Jewish education matters

עם ישראל חי

There is no other institution that raises children more immersed in love for Israel and pride in being Jewish than Kellman Brown Academy.

Kellman Brown Academy is more than just a school; it is a place where Jewish values and an unparalleled education intertwine to empower the next generation of future leaders. Our goal is to fill our students’ hearts with a deep connection to their heritage, preparing them to stand up for the State of Israel and to advocate for a future where Jewish voices are heard and respected. In today’s climate of rising antisemitism and increasing anti-Israel sentiment, we need to ensure that our students are empowered to navigate these challenges with strength, knowledge, and resilience.

This is where your support is crucial. Your generosity directly impacts several key areas of our school:

  • Educational innovation: We are continuously innovating at KBA with a special focus on Israel advocacy, STEM, and social-emotional learning to prepare our students to become future leaders.
  • Security: The safety and security of our students and staff is our highest priority.
  • Teacher recruitment and retention: Attracting and retaining high-quality educators is vital to maintaining the excellence of our educational programs.
  • Financial Aid: Many families need this support to provide their children with the opportunity to receive a Jewish education.

In addition to making your cash donation, please consider securing our Jewish future through one or more of the philanthopic options highlighted below.

  • Charitable Bequests: Include KBA in your will or trust to leave a legacy or participate in our Life and Legacy program, ensuring our school community will continue to thrive for generations to come.
  • Retirement Accounts: Designate KBA as a beneficiary on your retirement accounts for a tax-efficient gift (IRA Charitable rollover).
  • Matching Gifts: If your employer offers a company matching gift program, you can increase the value of your gift to KBA.
  • Stocks and Securities: Donate appreciated assets and potentially enjoy tax advantages.
  • Life Insurance: Name KBA as a beneficiary, transforming a policy into a lasting gift.
  • Real Estate: Donate property to KBA; secure an income tax deduction; KBA sells the property and uses proceeds to further its educational mission.

Together, we can build a lasting legacy for our community.
