MAKE A GIFT

Planned Giving

If you’re here, reading this website, we’re going to guess that Jewish community is important to you. Maybe you’ve thought about what it will look like in the future — perhaps you have kids, or grandkids. Perhaps you don’t, but you still feel a duty to make sure the next generation can experience the gift of Jewish community.

You can leave a planned gift. Yes, you.

Whoever you are — whatever your income or age — you can shape the Jewish community of the future through a planned gift.

Here’s how you could leave a planned gift:

Estate plan or will
Cash
Beneficiary Designations from IRAs, Bank Accounts, etc.
Appreciated stocks and bonds
Retirement plan assets (qualified charitable distributions from IRAs or beneficiary designations)
Mutual fund shares
Private company stock and other closely held business interests
Real estate
Tangible personal property (e.g., artwork, musical instruments, vehicles)

The professionals at Minneapolis Jewish Federation are experts and have a variety of tools to help you and your family make a meaningful gift that’s tailored to fit your unique circumstances. Read more below, or contact us at 952.593.2600 or philanthropy@jewishminneapolis.org.

We Will Make The Most of Your Gift

We work with you to identify your passions, interests, and that your and your family and community’s needs will continue to be met. You are in the driver’s seat and unless otherwise specified, planned gifts are directed to the Federation’s Perpetual Annual Campaign Endowment Fund, which benefits the annual Community Campaign responding to evolving and unrestricted needs of more than 60 organizations each year. Your gift will help ensure a strong and vibrant Jewish community for future generations.

Planning Your Planned Gift is Easier than You may Think

While many gifts don’t require a lawyer or a new will, we are happy to work with your professional advisor whenever it is helpful or desired. If you have questions or want to speak with someone about planned giving, please do not hesitate to call us at 952.593.2600 or email philanthropy@jewishminneapolis.org.
