“I found a fruitful world, because my ancestors planted it for me. Likewise, I am planting for my children.” -Talmud
Want to learn more about ways to leave a legacy and support the future of Jewish Atlanta and Jews around the world? We are here to help you make a gift, during your lifetime or beyond, that reflects your values and sustains them for future generations.
A gift to Federation can make an impact right now while also strengthening the Jewish community for generations to come. You may choose to give today, include Federation in your will or other estate plans, or combine both approaches.
These gifts can be used to create an endowment in your name or in honor of a loved one. The gift is invested, and each year a portion is distributed to support Federation’s Annual Campaign or a program you care about—forever.
You may choose to:
- Support the Annual Campaign in perpetuity through a Perpetual Annual Campaign Endowment (PACE) or Lion of Judah Endowment (LOJE)
- Create a designated endowment focused on a specific impact area, such as Jewish education
- Strengthen the entire Federation by supporting the Unrestricted Endowment, which helps sustain operations and respond to emerging needs
Whether your gift is made during your lifetime, through your estate, or both, it reflects your values, honors what matters most to you, and ensures a vibrant Jewish future.
Have you already included Federation in your will or estate plan? Please let us know.

By making a gift for the future of our Jewish Community, you become a member of the Federation’s Legacy Society.
We are a proud partner of Jewish Future Promise. By signing the Promise, you make the commitment that you will be actively sharing our Jewish stories, values, and traditions with family and friends. And that, if any charitable contributions are made upon your passing, at least 50% will be allocated to causes that strengthen and service the Jewish people and/or State of Israel.
This is a moral commitment and not a legal or binding agreement. You make this Promise because a vibrant Jewish future is important to you. You want to help create a world where the next generation stands tall with Jewish pride.
