Leave a Legacy

“I found a fruitful world, because my ancestors planted it for me. Likewise, I am planting for my children.” -Talmud 

Honor the Past. Secure the Future.

Want to learn more about ways to leave your legacy? We are here to help you establish a restricted funda perpetual gift such as an endowment, or prepare support for the future.

An Endowment Fund makes an impact far into the future. It is a permanent fund, in your name or the name of a loved one, that supports Federation. Consider an Annual Campaign Endowment such as a Perpetual Annual Campaign Endowment (PACE) or Lion of Judah Endowment (LOJE) or create a designated endowment to fund a specific impact area within the federation ecosystem. 

Establishing a fund is straightforward: you make a designated gift to the Federation, the fund is invested, and an annual distribution supports the Federation’s Annual Community Campaign in perpetuity or program of your choice, a gift that both reflects your values and sustains them for future generations. 

Planned Giving Vehicles:
  • Bequests – Gifts from a trust or will 
  • Beneficiary Designations – An easy and tax efficient way to make the Federation a beneficiary of your retirement, investment or life insurance policy 
  • Securities – Gifts of appreciated securities such as stocks, bonds, and mutual funds 
  • IRA Charitable Rollovers – A tax efficient way to make a gift using your RMD (Required Mandatory Distribution) from your IRA 
  • Donor Advised Funds (DAF) Arrange for your DAF to make a grant upon your passing of a percentage of its value or the remainder to Federation.
