Get Involved
A community wide effort to help solve the tuition crisis
SEFA is a grassroots movement unifying community rabbis, institutions, top lawyers, tax professionals, and lay-leaders, all joining together to achieve this common goal.
ABOUT US
SEFA was founded by dedicated leaders and rabbis in our community who are committed to solving one of the most challenging issues in our community: The Tuition Crisis!
Today Tuition costs are over $25,000 per child on average, rising at 3% a year. The situation is unsustainable and threatens the future of our community!
Roughly 50% of our community is in need of Tuition Assistance.
The number of families in need of tuition continues to go up.
HOW IT WORKS
We are calling on our entire community to participate in this unified and simple project.
