Good to Know

Donation questions

Is my donation tax-deductible?

Yes. Chabad of Rikers is a project of Chabad Lubavitch, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. You'll receive an emailed receipt immediately, and a year-end summary for your records.

Where exactly does my money go?

Donations fund chaplain visits, kosher provisions, holiday programs, family support, and reentry services. We keep overhead low — the overwhelming majority of every gift reaches the island directly.

Can I give in honor of someone?

Absolutely. During checkout you can dedicate your gift in honor or memory of a loved one, and we'll send an acknowledgment card on your behalf.

Can I cancel or change a monthly gift?

Anytime. Monthly donors can pause, adjust, or cancel with a single email or click — no questions asked.
