Chicagoland Jewish High School

Va’ad Tikun Olam

YPI

YPI was formed by a group of dedicated students in an effort to enhance the ways in which CJHS’s student body gives tzedakah by educating the community about worthy causes and organizations and developing innovative and fun fundraising activities.

Mission Statement: Our mission is to engage the CJHS community in conscientious philanthropy, rooted in Jewish values, in order to support worthy causes.

 

2008-2009 YPI Giving Philosophy:

For the 2008-2009 school year, YPI will donate the first $5000 and 75% of any additional funds that are raised to a local charitable organization whose program will be significantly enhanced by our gift. The YPI Board will choose the organization and then present it to the CJHS student body prior to its Adar Fundraising Month. The remaining funds will be preserved in the  YPI Philanthropic Fund to support future projects.
