Building a Tight-Knit Community with ShulCloud: More Than Just a Synagogue Database

| Written by | Back

In the ever-evolving landscape of synagogue management, it's crucial to have tools that handle administrative tasks but also foster meaningful connections within your community. Synagogues today engage their congregants in various ways—from fundraising and hosting events to coordinating educational classes. Collecting information about your members is essential for creating meaningful experiences, but you need a solution that extends beyond basic database functionality. Enter ShulCloud, the leading synagogue management solution designed to nurture a tight-knit, vibrant community around your synagogue.

Why ShulCloud Stands Out

ShulCloud is trusted by over 1,600 synagogues worldwide, making it a premier choice for managing and enhancing congregant relationships. This cloud-based platform offers a range of features that make it easy to build and strengthen these relationships.

1. The Congregant Relationship Manager

With ShulCloud, you can develop deeper, more authentic relationships with your members by:

  • Store member details, including contact information, family members, Yahrzeits, motivations, and engagement history, all in one secure place.
  • Allow members to update their profiles and pay their bills through a secure, personalized member portal.
  • Encourage members to connect using an online member directory on your website.

2. Communication Tools

Effective communication is at the heart of community building, and ShulCloud excels in this area by:

  • Creating a branded website customized to your synagogue, with options to add an event calendar and Zmanim (Minyan Times) widget to your pages.
  • Automate emails to congregants based on criteria such as member type, billing status, demographic details, and more.
  • Sending convenient bulk text messages to members for an additional fee (determined by the number of messages sent).

3. Fundraising Tools + Insights

ShulCloud helps you get more members involved in your fundraising efforts.

  • Quickly send payment reminders and thank-you messages to pledge donors.
  • Facilitate fundraising activities such as Purim Basket campaigns, so congregants can easily select and pay for their gifts to other members.
  • The office should be able to allocate granularly and precisely those targeted intentional donations based on which programs or initiatives members want to support.

To ensure you get the most out of ShulCloud’s relationship-building tools, ShulCloud provides unlimited support and training for every price point. Both ShulCloud and Kesef Accounting Service fall under the Shulware brand. This brand has over 30 years of experience serving synagogues around the world.
