Legacy Giving for You and Your Family

The easiest way to support your favorite organization beyond your lifetime is through a charitable bequest. A charitable bequest doesn’t cost you anything, yet it allows you to to reap the merits of giving. Also known as a legacy gift, this is a future donation named in your will. Planned giving through a charitable bequest is a special mitzva (good deed) no matter the amount of the gift.

Benefits of Legacy Giving:

Planned giving through a charitable bequest expresses your values.

Your support for a charitable organization shows your appreciation for people who do good in this world. When you include a Jewish tzedaka organization in your will, it’s a deeper way of showing concern for your fellow Jews.

A charitable bequest is a way of honoring a family member past your lifetime.

Donating to a family member’s favorite charity in your will is a unique gift to them. The merit of the mitzvah (good deed) will accompany your family and allow you to keep giving to your family in a significant way.
