Create Evergreen Impact
Meeting today’s needs is important. Ensuring sustainable support for future generations is equally vital.
A Legacy Endowment is a permanent charitable fund that grows over time and provides ongoing support to the organizations and causes you care about. Established in your name or in honor of someone meaningful to you, your endowment is invested for long-term growth and generates annual distributions that continue your philanthropic impact in perpetuity.
Whether you wish to support a synagogue, school, summer camp, senior home, hospital, museum, or any other charitable cause, a Legacy Endowment is a tax-advantaged, strategic way to ensure your values live on for generations.
How Endowments Work
Create Your Fund
Establish an endowment in your name, your family’s name, or in honor of a loved one.
Select a Cause to Support
Direct your endowment to sustain a nonprofit, a specific initiative, unrestricted community needs, or a combination of charitable causes.
Contribute to Your Fund
Give cash, appreciated securities, IRA charitable rollovers, or other tax-advantaged gifts. Your endowment can be funded during your lifetime or through your estate plan, retirement assets, life insurance, and a variety of planned giving strategies.
Create Lasting Impact
Your endowment is professionally invested by the Atlanta Jewish Foundation, and each year, a portion of the fund (typically around 5%) is distributed to the causes you selected. This evergreen approach provides dependable, annual support – helping organizations sustain vital programs, meet emerging needs, and grow their impact far into the future.
