Portland Jewish Academy is a beneficiary agency of the Jewish Federation of Greater Portland and is proud of our partnership with them in strengthening our local Jewish community as well as the global community.


Supporting PJA

Like all independent schools, the cost of a PJA education exceeds tuition. We ask parents, grandparents, alumni, friends, and businesses to help us make up the difference. There are so many ways to show you are PJA Proud. (Click here for a current student's point of view of why giving to PJA is so important.)

  • Donate! The difference between tuition and the excellent education PJA provides is approximately $2,000 per student. We urge parents to make a tax-deductible donation of this amount if they are able or as much as they can.

  • Fundraise! PJA families help raise funds by working on our auction and in other fundraising opportunities including scrip and the annual fund.

  • Volunteer! PJA parents and students participate in the Fair Share volunteer program. Fair Share hours may be earned by helping in the classroom or accompanying a class on a field trip, for example.

  • Matching gift! Check with your company to see if they will match your contribution to PJA.

  • Shop! Buy scrip every Friday and part of your purchase goes directly to PJA.

Whether you give of your time, money or other resources, your contribution helps keep PJA going strong.

“I can’t tell you the feeling I get when I talk to the bright young students at Portland Jewish Academy. It is a great feeling to see how these young people are learning not only the subjects they could learn at any school, but also strong Jewish values and Hebrew. Whether it’s watching the choir perform or hearing a PJA student give a speech at the auction about how much the school has meant to him, I am proud to be and have been a strong supporter of PJA for many, many years.”



Harold Schnitzer is, and has been, a major donor and supporter of the Portland Jewish Academy and the Mittleman Jewish Community Center.
