Benefits of giving with us

The rewards of enlightened philanthropy

Giving with The Jewish Community Foundation enables you to make smart planning decisions—based upon your values, your interests, and your needs—that maximize benefit to you and your loved ones as you make an impact upon the world. We can help you in your enlightened philanthropy through:

  • Planning: We can apply our experience to help you find the giving method that best suits your philanthropic, financial and estate planning goals.
  • Charitable giving expertise: We can lend our community grantmaking experience to the successful fulfillment of your community vision. We can help you identify organizations in your area of interest, get you closer to their work, and find ways for you to best help them make an impact.
  • Tax savings: Planned giving through the Foundation has considerable personal and estate incentives that can make it more attractive than yearly check-writing or creating a private foundation.
  • Administration: We handle the administrative details of charitable giving, reducing paperwork for you and allowing you more time to plan the best use of your dollars and philanthropic efforts. We provide you with fund performance reports, record keeping, tax documentation and audit services.
  • Personal service: Having a personal relationship with you allows us to better serve your needs. We strive to provide each of our donors with top-notch personal service, regardless of the size of the initial gift.
  • Values: We base our work upon the Jewish values of Tikkun Olam (rebuilding the world) and tzedakah (righteous giving). By giving through the Foundation, you assure your legacy in preserving your Jewish heritage and enhancing life in your community.
  • Investments: Our total return / growth-oriented financial investment strategy has been successful in encouraging the long-term growth of our donors' community investments. This continuing growth ensures that your investments translate to real community returns over the long term.
  • Family: We can work with you to impart the knowledge and Jewish values at the core of your enlightened philanthropy to your children - and involve them in your family's tradition of philanthropy. As they become stewards of your family's assets, your children can carry on your values and share responsibility for our community's future.
