Planned Giving
Leave a Legacy
Create a legacy by planning a gift that guarantees Jewish Home Family’s mission will continue. Planned Giving provides the opportunity to commit a charitable gift now that will benefit Jewish Home Family in the future. It goes beyond writing a check. A legacy gift can be designated in a will, a retirement plan, creating an endowment or a life insurance policy.
The following is a list of some of the most popular forms of charitable giving.
Bequest
- A bequest is one of the easiest gifts to make.
- With the help of an advisor, you can include language in your will or trust specifying a gift be made to Jewish Home Foundation of North Jersey, Inc. (JHF), to benefit Jewish Home Family, as part of your estate plan.
IRA Rollover
- Avoid taxes on transfers of up to $105,000 from your IRA to JHF.
- Satisfy your required minimum distribution (RMD) for the year.
- Reduce your taxable income, even if you do not itemize deductions.
- Make a gift that is not subject to the deduction limits on charitable gifts.
- Take care of our elders by supporting the mission of the Jewish Home Family.
Appreciated Stock
- The gift of stock that has increased in value is a win-win situation.
- It provides a charitable gift to the Jewish Home Foudnation, eliminates capital gains tax that would otherwise be applicable to the donor, and provides a charitable deduction to the donor. This type of gift can be as simple as an electronic transfer.
Gift Annuities & Remainder Trusts
- This type of legacy gift can be structured in a variety of ways, providing annual income to the donor, and providing the satisfaction of knowing that the residual of the gift will ultimately benefit the Jewish Home Family.
Life Insurance
- This allows the donor to make a gift of assets that may no longer be needed, or that have “outlived” their original purpose.
- One can choose to use the “cash value” of a policy to fund a gift or name the Jewish Home Foundation of North Jersey as the “beneficiary”, to receive all or a portion of the proceeds of the policy at death.
Contributions may be made through the Jewish Home Foundation which is a not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) organization. Contributions made to the Foundation are tax-deductible as permitted by law.
