You have a say in where your Tikun Olam money goes!

Follow the six steps below to allocate 40% of your chapter’s contribution to the charities of your choice.

1. Get a Tikun Olam allocation form ^[1] and descriptions of tzedakot ^[2] online. (Your advisor or youth director will receive them automatically by snail mail.)
2. Add up the amount your chapter donated during the year (e-mail stein@uscj.org ^[3] if you don’t have complete records).
3. Multiply the amount you raised by 0.4 (that is, 40%).
4. Have as many people from the chapter as possible involved in deciding where the 40% is to go. You can divide the money among different organizations.
5. Fill out the Allocations Form and mail it to: Tikun Olam, 820 Second Avenue, 10th Floor, New York, NY 10017.
6. Make sure the Allocation Form is mailed to the International Office no later than June 30, 2011.
