Membership Enrollment Form

 

Household Information 

Please fill out the information for yourself and family members (if applicable). Staff will use this information to generate a basic account. We will then be able to provide you with a unique log-in that you can use to edit your profile, add yahrzeit information and more. 

Depending on time of year, this initial process may take several business days.  Payment is not due at this time.

Let us know if you have additional adults to add to your account. Shir Tikvah recognizes and supports the diversity of individuals, households and families.


Fair Share Dues Structure:

Member Dues are on a sliding scale, based on a household's adjusted gross income (Form 1040, line 11). Here is the formula:

  • $40,000 and lower = 1% (income x .01)
  • $40,001 and higher = 2% (income x .02), up to a maximum of $4000

Keren Zeriyah (Seed) Fund:

**Required for the first 3 years of membership. Supports synagogue operations (in place of a building fund)

  • Equivalent of 1 year dues commitment, payable over 3 years (1/3 each year)

Practical Examples:

David M has an adjusted gross income of $60,000/year. He pays $1,200 in dues (2% of $60,000) and $400 in KZ (1/3 of $1,200) for his first three years of membership. Total of $1600 per year.

Sera W has an adjusted gross income of $18,000/year. They pay $180 in dues (1% of $18,000) and $60 in KZ (1/3 of $180) for the first three years of their membership. Total of $240 per year.
 

Lack of funds should never be a barrier. 

We say it and we mean it. The Kiruv Fund was established to subsidize member dues for those with economic hardship (illness, disability, unemployment, etc). To make Shir Tikvah membership accessible to everyone, tell us the amount you are able to afford and the Kiruv Fund will make up the difference. You can indicate the need for financial aid lower on this form.

2025-2026 Membership Commitment
