Tehillim (Psalms) 19:8: “Torat Hashem Temimah, meshivat nefesh; edut Hashem ne’emanah, machkimat peti” (“The Torah of Hashem is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of Hashem is faithful, making wise the simple.”) Relevance: The name “Temimah” reflects the perfect, whole nature of Torah, which restores and uplifts. Our mission begins with this promise of transformation through practical, real and hashkafic growth-oriented Torah study. Mishlei (Proverbs) 31:26: “Piha patchah b’chochmah, v’torat chesed al leshonah” (“She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the Torah of kindness is on her tongue.”) Relevance: This encapsulates our goal to empower women as wise, kind mothers and thought-leaders who return to their community and shape the Jewish future by embodying someone with deep and meaningful Torah in thought, speech, and action.

Frequently Asked Questions
A Community Support Fund (CSF) is a grassroots fundraising program hosted by Rekonect. Each CSF is run by an independent organizer raising money for a specific cause they care about, with Rekonect providing the legal, financial, and technical infrastructure to make it possible. Donations to a CSF go to Rekonect, which then disburses the funds to support the cause according to the program’s purpose. This model lets organizers focus on the work itself rather than the overhead of starting and running a nonprofit from scratch.
Rekonect is a US 501(c)(3) nonprofit that sponsors grassroots fundraising programs. You can read more about us in our mission and manifesto. Every CSF goes through a vetting process before going live: we verify the organizer’s identity, review the cause description for legitimacy and alignment with our mission, and conduct a post-approval onboarding call to confirm the program’s scope and operations. Causes that pass vetting are hosted on our platform; those that don’t, aren’t.
Yes, for US taxpayers. Rekonect is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit (EIN 82-4750961), and donations are deductible to the extent allowed by US law. Tax deductibility applies to US donors only — we do not currently offer Israeli or other foreign tax-deductible giving. You will receive a tax receipt by email immediately after your donation, and all your receipts are also available in your donor account.
Rekonect retains a 2% administrative fee, and our platform partner BrightLeaf Giving retains 4.5%, for a combined 6.5% that supports the infrastructure making CSFs possible. Credit card processing fees are 3.5% and donors have the option to cover these fees at checkout. We keep these costs as low as we can while still operating responsibly, and every fee is disclosed transparently rather than hidden in the math.
Donations are held by Rekonect and disbursed against documented requests from the CSF organizer. Vendor payments require invoices, stipends require electronically signed agreements, and direct grants require an attestation of need from the recipient. Every disbursement is capped at $10,000 and requires approval from both Rekonect and our platform partner before funds are released. This structure ensures that money moves only against verified requests for purposes consistent with the CSF’s stated mission.
We accept Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) grants and wire transfers in addition to credit card and ACH donations. Stock and check donations are not currently supported. Full instructions for each accepted donation method are available directly on the donation form — select your preferred method and the form will guide you through the next steps.
Yes. Recurring donations are available on a monthly basis — select the recurring option on the donation form when you give. To change the amount, pause, or cancel a recurring donation, email us at the address listed on our contact page and we’ll handle it promptly. Self-service management of recurring donations through the donor account is on our roadmap.
Yes to both. The donation form includes a dedication field where you can mark your gift in honor of, in memory of, or in celebration of someone, with an optional message. You can also choose to send the honoree an e-card acknowledging your gift. To give anonymously, select the anonymous option on the donation form — your information will still reach the program for receipt purposes, but your name won’t appear in public donor listings.
Yes. All donations are processed through a PCI-compliant payment processor that handles card data according to industry security standards. Rekonect itself does not store any card information on its servers — payment details are tokenized through the processor and never touch our systems. Your financial information is protected by the same standards used by major financial institutions.
A donor account is optional but useful. It gives you faster checkout on future gifts, access to your full giving history and tax receipts in one place, and a record of any dedications you’ve made. Additional features — including saved payment methods and self-service management of recurring donations — are on our roadmap. Account creation is free and takes about a minute.
