Supporting Our School

Invest in our School

Thank you for your interest in Paul Penna Downtown Jewish Day School. We depend on charitable support from our extended family to grow our stimulating educational programs for all our students, attract and retain outstanding staff, and secure elementary and middle school subsidies.

Thank you for supporting Toronto’s reemerging downtown Jewish community!

Our Goals and Needs

Annual Campaign
The Annual Campaign is the cornerstone of the Paul Penna DJDS Development program and plays a critical role in helping our school maintain its high level of academic excellence. Tuition does not cover the full costs of educating a child at our school, as is the case with the majority of other private schools. Gifts from parents, grandparents, friends, staff, and alumni help supplement tuition.

We have six different donor levels:
Founders : $36,000 and above
Champions : $10,000 - $35,999
Benefactors : $5,000 - $9,999
Patrons : $1,000 - $4,999
Supporters : $500 - $999
Friends : $1 - $499

Growth Fund
Become a leader in our $12 million Growth Campaign and help us attract matching gifts from other community members. Make a lead gift that will broadcast your investment in a vibrant future for Toronto’s diverse downtown Jewish community. Serve as a beacon to other donors so that together, we may light the way for future generations of committed, knowledgeable Jewish leaders.
