WAYS TO SUPPORT CASH GIFTS
Make a gift today to any Fund at the JFS Foundation or establish your own Fund with a gift of $5,000 or more and immediately start making an impact.
GIFTS FROM YOUR WILL OR TRUST
Preserve your assets during your lifetime and plan a gift to us that costs nothing to you now, but can make a world of difference to JFS and the community over time.
GIFTS FROM A RETIREMENT PLAN Leave your estate to your heirs and name JFS as a beneficiary to your retirement plan.
GIFTS OF STOCK & APPRECIATED ASSETS
Avoid capital gains tax by buying low and giving high. Take advantage of appreciated securities rather than cash to make your gift to the JFS Foundation.
GIFTS OF REAL ESTATE/PROPERTY
These gifts secure a charitable income tax deduction for you, based on the fair market value of the property. There is no capital gains liability for the transfer.
GIFTS OF LIFE INSURANCE
Create a long-term gift that won’t draw funds from your estate. Originate a new life insurance policy or donate a paid-up policy of coverage you no longer need.

FUNDHOLDER SPOTLIGHT The Star Endowment Fund for Children’s Mental Health Services “I saw my parents and grandparents giving and volunteering in ways that I thought were really terrific. It’s one thing giving money, but it’s something else by giving money and volunteering in organizations. There’s just that connection and that contact with people that are not in the same position as you are that are so important. My earliest memories of JFS were just driving in the car out to JFS with my grandmother and mother, helping them volunteer, bringing food for the High Holidays. It brought encouragement to me that people were really getting help where they needed it and that my family was involved.” -Meri-Kay Star, a volunteer and donor, whose mother and grandmother passed on the importance of tzedakah and their love for JFS.
