Nichols Park Minyan is entirely volunteer-run, and almost 100% of our expenses are space rental and food costs, with a little extra needed for things like web services and printing.

For the year 5785 (Sep 2024-Sep 2025), we fundraised $6200, which allows us to cover our regular expenses and rent Promontory Point Field House for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.

We accept donations year-round to ensure our future financial stability and ability to serve the community in new ways. Donate below!
