Did you know that there is no “mother-ship” in NY, or elsewhere, that sends funds?
That’s right! While Chabad Downtown Buffalo is part of the worldwide Chabad-Lubavitch movement, our local activities are funded by the generosity of people like you.
That’s where our Chai Partners come in.
Chabad’s Chai Partners are a special group of dedicated supporters who make a monthly commitment to inspiring and sustaining Jewish life in Buffalo. Their generosity provides the steady, reliable funding that allows Chabad to be there whenever and wherever we are needed.
Whether it’s answering a call from a local rehabilitation center about a young person in recovery who needs encouragement from a rabbi, visiting a family facing personal challenges, helping someone reconnect with their Jewish heritage, or simply offering a listening ear to someone in need, your monthly support makes it possible.
By becoming a Chai Partner, you help ensure that we can focus on what matters most: touching lives, strengthening Jewish identity, and inspiring Jewish life throughout Buffalo.
A Small Monthly Gift. An Extraordinary Difference.
You don’t need to make a large donation to make a meaningful impact. For as little as $18 a month, you can become a partner in everything we do!
Your monthly contribution provides:
- Reliable Support: Help sustain Chabad’s programs, services, and everyday outreach throughout the year.
- A Lasting Impact: Enable us to respond to unexpected needs and meaningful opportunities whenever they arise.
- Convenience: Your contribution is processed automatically each month, with no checks to write or renewals to remember.
- Greater Efficiency: Recurring donations reduce administrative costs, allowing more of your generosity to go directly toward helping others.
And perhaps most importantly, your commitment gives us the peace of mind to concentrate on inspiring Jewish lives rather than constantly worrying about how to fund our work.
Over 20% of our local funding comes from generous Chai Partners who have made it possible for Chabad to continue inspiring our community.
Joining the Chai Club Is as Easy as 1, 2, 3!

Together, We Can Inspire Generations.

That’s the power of being a Chai Partner.
For just $18 a month — approximately 60 cents a day — you can help inspire a Jewish child to love their heritage, bring the warmth of Yiddishkeit into someone’s life, and help ensure a vibrant Jewish future for Buffalo.
