Important Announcement About
Changes at B’nai Portland

• What Changed?: B’nai Portland has surrendered its 501c3 status.
• Why did B’nai Portland make this change?: Since the tax laws have changed, most tax-payers will no longer be able to claim their charitable donations as itemized deductions. We also felt we could still fulfill our mission without a formal board of directors. That said, many of our board members pledge to continue to support our work.
• What does this mean to me?: We continue to count on your generosity to help us cover costs of technology for virtual service, venues for in-person services, school supplies, administrative costs, etc. You will still receive thank-you notes in acknowledgment of your generosity.
