Monthly Giving Program

Monthly giving is one of the most helpful and generous ways to help DSAJ because it allows us to preplan and ensure our families get exactly what they need when they need it. It is also a manageable way for you to include philanthropy into your budget and still make a positive impact. Whether you choose to give monthly or make your sustaining donation all at once, we are grateful for your generous support.
