Temple Israel Columbus Foundation

The Temple Israel Foundation was founded in 1969 by several congregants who saw the need to provide for and augment religious life at Temple Israel Columbus in perpetuity. Foundation funds are endowed perpetual funds that remain permanently invested through the Foundation and generate annual interest.
