Endowment
The Establishment of Yavneh's Endowment:
In 2010, Amudai Yavneh was formed by a group of visionary donors who recognized that an endowment is the key to a school’s long term financial security, ensuring the future of Jewish education for generations to come.
The ability to draw from the interest earned creates a consistent revenue stream, alleviating tuition needs while enabling Yavneh to provide our students with a stellar and individualized education program - the hallmark of a Yavneh education throughout our 80 year history.
