Your Gift to Sefaria
Can I make my gift in honor or memory of someone?
Yes! If you’re donating online, check the box for “Dedicate my donation in honor or in memory of someone” right after entering your donation amount. Then enter your desired tribute information and our donation processing platform will send your message to the recipient. If you have questions about this process, please email donate@sefaria.org
Where does my gift go? How does Sefaria use the donations it receives?
Generally, gifts made to Sefaria are considered “unrestricted,” meaning that our staff allocates funds where they’re needed most. This includes everything from the text and learning you see on your screen to the technology support that keeps us online to the time and energy of the Sefaria team.
Sefaria has a Platinum rating on GuideStar and we’re devoted to making sure we’re transparent and open with our donors. For a closer look at our financials, download the most recent Sefaria 990.
Can I make a gift to support a specific program or initiative?
