Planned Gifts
There is no end to the good you can do…

Gifts through your estate can provide important financial benefits to you and are an enduring legacy of your concern for our community. You can leave a legacy through your will or trust by designating a specific dollar amount or percentage, specific property, or anything left over after providing for your family. In addition you may direct your gift to support a particular program of interest to you or designate support for our endowment fund.

A planned gift to JFCS will provide services for those in need in the community. Planned giving opportunities include a bequest through your will, charitable gift annuity, life insurance or trust. These gift vehicles are used to build long-term stability at JFCS so that generations to come can continue to benefit from your kindness and generosity.

Please contact JFCS at 795-0300 ext. 263 for more information about ways to make gifts through your estate or other charitable giving options.
