Planned Giving

Join Our Legacy Societies

Creating a lasting impact is within your reach. By making a planned gift, you help secure the future of our community while joining an exclusive group of philanthropists. Below are the recognition programs available to our supporters:

Generation to Generation Society

A planned gift of $100,000 enables you to establish a fund that guarantees an annual $5,000 gift to the JFWM — forever. As a member of the Generation to Generation Society, you ensure the continuation of the Federation’s vital work for generations to come.

Lion of Judah Endowment (LOJE)

Women who endow their $5,000 Lion of Judah contribution with a planned gift of $100,000 or more will be recognized as members of both the Generation to Generation Society locally and the Lion of Judah Endowment (LOJE) nationally. This distinction comes with exclusive national programs and privileges.

Star of David Society

The Star of David Society is the Jewish Federations of North America’s (JFNA) premier national recognition program. It honors those who make exceptional commitments:

  • Individuals who endow a minimum annual campaign gift of $10,000 through a PACE or LOJE planned gift of $200,000 or more
  • Couples who establish two PACE funds of at least $100,000 each
  • Individuals who create any permanent fund of $500,000 or more for any purpose

Prime Minister’s Council

Members of the Prime Minister’s Council have made a lasting commitment by establishing an endowment of $2 million or more. These prestigious members receive exclusive invitations to missions and programs through JFNA, offering unparalleled access, candid conversation, and fellowship.

Create a Jewish Legacy

Anyone who establishes a fund for the Federation or any local Jewish organization is automatically included in the Create a Jewish Legacy program. Legacy gifts, no matter the size, make a lasting impact on our community and can be arranged with no cost during your lifetime.
