Chabad of Naples
Naples Big Build

WE DID IT!

372 generous donors came together with contributions of all sizes to raise the final $500,000 to complete Phase 2 of our Big Build fundraising campaign, unlocking Jay and Patty Bakers’ $2 million matching challenge grant.

A heartfelt thank you to the 140 very generous donors who contributed towards the first $1.5 million, allowing us to make this final push and complete Phase 2 in 2022! In a tremendous show of unity and strength, over 500 unique donors stepped up to support us and grow the future of our preschool and community center.

This community is incredible.

We have now reached the milestone of $4 million raised of the total $6 million campaign, which is 2/3rds of the way there!

On behalf of every soul that will be inspired and ignited thanks to your investment, we thank you!

We are SO excited for 2023 and the future ahead.

We are hopeful to complete the final fundraising Phase 3 in 2023 and look forward to sharing more in the months ahead. If you have not yet had the chance to donate, we welcome your support. Every additional donation will now go towards completing Phase 3 of our fundraising campaign which will bring us to the Big Build finish line!

LET’S GROW!!

LET’S GROW!!

Are You Ready?

It’s time for something historic! It’s time to raise $1 Million in 15 days.

Have you heard about Chabad Naples and POTA’s Big Build capital campaign to add a 17,000 sq ft building to our campus. A place where children can learn, campers can play, teens can connect, and our community can gather and celebrate.

With new classrooms, experiential learning opportunities, and innovative communal spaces, this building will grow the leaders of tomorrow and ensure a vibrant community for years to come.

The total cost of this historic project is $6 million, which we have divided into three fundraising phases:

• Phase 1: We are incredibly grateful to our visionary founding donors, Jay and Patty Baker, who have pledged $2 million to match an additional $2 million fundraised.
• Phase 2: Raise $2 million to unlock the matching grant
• Phase 3: Details to follow

Thanks to the generosity of so many, $1.5 Million has already been raised for Phase Two. We now need to raise another $500,000 to receive the FULL $2 million grant from the Bakers, raising a total of $4 million!

We can only do this with YOUR help.

Can you help us raise $500,000 to unlock the $2,000,000 match grant from Jay and Patty Baker? Let’s complete phase 2 in 2022 and begin construction in 2023.

Every dollar you give will ensure the best environment to nurture young minds. Your donation will enable the sweet sounds of children singing songs and celebrating their rich heritage. Your support will bring The Big Build to life, a building filled with the wonder and curiosity of our precious young children.

Every dollar donated will automatically be DOUBLED, thanks to the generosity of Jay and Patty Baker!
