Legacy Giving
1911 Society of Legacy Donors
At every age, at every stage, Jewish Family Service is here to help, offering over 30 programs and services to benefit every member of the family. YOU can truly make a difference by helping to support our vital work in the community. After providing for your family and loved ones, you may want to remember Jewish Family Service of St. Paul. A gift from your will, trust, retirement account, or life insurance policy will help to secure the long-term future of the agency.
What Are the Benefits of Leaving a Legacy?
Legacy or planned gifts to JFS allows you to decide what your legacy will be and what kind of impact you will make on following generations. You can earmark help to go to the area of greatest concern to you like support services for people with disabilities, home care for frail elderly, chaplaincy, family life education, or simply for use where most needed – you can make a statement about what is important to you. You can specify that your gift create an endowment to last in perpetuity or that it be available to meet current needs.
Legacy gifts may allow you to make a more sizeable gift than you might be able to consider during your lifetime. And you can use your gift to establish an endowed Named Fund that carries in perpetuity your name or the name of someone you wish to honor or memorialize.
