Membership at Congregation Albert requires an annual pledge. Each member pledges in order to sustain temple operations (e.g., programming, music, education, youth, salaries, repair and maintenance, insurance, and utilities). The "sustaining pledge" amount is adjusted annually by the Budget Committee and Board of Trustees. No current or prospective member is denied membership because of financial hardship; your generosity helps us continue being the center of Jewish life in Albuquerque and beyond.
New membership at Congregation Albert requires a contribution to the Building Fund. An exemption from this requirement can be obtained by providing proof of contribution to another Union for Reform Judaism (URJ) synagogue's Building Fund within the past 10 years. 

FINANCIAL COMMITMENT

Our current sustaining financial commitment is $3200 annually, meaning that if every member household contributed this amount, our income would cover all of our operating needs. However, no current or prospective member is denied membership because of financial hardship. Thank you for your support!
 
If able, please consider joining our Chai Circle donors.

Membership at Congregation Albert requires a contribution to the Building Fund, which pays for maintenance and improvements to our building. A contribution of $2000, in one lump sum or over five years, is suggested. New members who can show documentation of completion of a Building Fund pledge to another Union for Reform Judaism (URJ) synagogue in the past 10 years are exempt from this requirement.

 

Please indicate the amount of your Building Fund pledge below, and how you plan to fulfill your pledge. No credit card or bank account information is required at this time, and no payment will be collected at this time.

Your contribution to the Building Fund may be broken down over time. For example:
  • Monthly, over two years = $83.33/month = $2000
  • Monthly, over three years = $55.56/month = $2000
  • Monthly, over five years = $33.33/month = $2000

 
If you can show documentation of completion of a Building Fund pledge to another Union for Reform Judaism (URJ) synagogue in the past 10 years, please enter $1.00 as your Building Fund pledge (you will not be billed for this pledge), and send documentation of your completed Building Fund pledge to ed@congregationalbert.org.
Thank you! Our accounting specialist will contact you with further information regarding your Building Fund pledge.

Annual financial commitments are most often paid in monthly increments. For this, it is recommended that members establish automatic monthly payments by contacting our accounting specialist. Payments may also be made in one lump sum, or in any other arrangement which works for you.
 
Your total annual financial commitment is due no later than June 30 of every year. Payments in arrears for longer than six months can result in loss of good membership standing. Nonpayment causes serious consequences for Congregation Albert.

 
Your annual financial commitment must be updated annually (often in May or June). The amounts pledged by members directs our annual budget. Members who do not update their annual financial commitment risk losing status as members in good standing.
 
Membership Financial Commitments are made in good faith. Timely communication regarding a significant change in your financial circumstances is considered an extension of that good faith. If you are no longer able to afford your committed amount, please contact our office as soon as possible to discuss the situation and avoid loss of status as a member in good standing.
