Endowments & Legacy Gifts

How can we ensure the continued success and future growth of our Jewish community?

Camps at Medford garden

Through endowment funds.

The Jewish Federation of Southern New Jersey and the Jewish Community Foundation, Inc. (JCF) aim to build a strong base of annual support through endowment funds, which use the interest of the principle each year to sustain our charitable initiatives. While your vital gifts to Federation’s JFund are similar to planting annual flowers, endowment funds are akin to planting perennials that return year after year, lasting for many decades. Together, your “annual” gifts and “perennial” gifts enable the Federation to help countless Jewish individuals and families locally, nationally, and around the world. 

Endowment funds embody the Jewish value of “L’dor V’dor”— from generation to generation.

When you provide financial support through an unrestricted endowment fund via JCF, Federation has the flexibility to support targeted initiatives of need within the system and across our five Areas of Impact: Older Adults, Special Needs, Global Connections, Community Engagement, and Family & Youth. 

Please consider establishing an endowment fund to benefit the Federation for generations. You can impact our community – now and into the future – when you provide financial support through an endowment.
