For the first year, July 2024 - June 2025, Shtetl 2.0™ invites you to join this community as a Founder, with a donation of your choice! (We have already received founding gifts and pledges from $36 to $6,000!)
Our task right now is to come together to build a diverse community of older adults with a shared vision of supporting us collectively as we age - and helping to stabilize the Jewish elder community in NWPhilly. By sharing our gifts, we will meet the generational challenge of being able to age with vitality - here, in NWPhilly, where we have already created so much!
If you have not already enrolled as a Founding Member, please FIRST enroll on this form - and THEN donate the difference to the Founders Fund below. We apologize for this two-step process, which is required by the membership enrollment software.
If you are already a Founding Member of Shtetl 2.0™, please enter your additional contribution below. Thank you!
Not only will you receive the satisfaction of being a far-sighted Founder, but you will have opportunities to shape Shtetl 2.0™, and to expand your community now and into the future.*
We look forward to creating community with you!

The Board of Shtetl 2.0™
PS, The "No Surprises Clauses": Looking ahead, we anticipate creating membership dues structure, probably beginning in 2025-26. It may include different service tiers and will include provisions for need-based reductions. We will also seek to create mutual associate memberships with other area Villages.
* If you itemize on your 1040, you will also receive a 100% tax-deduction for these donations, for which no substantial value is received in return.
