“I found a fruitful world, because my ancestors planted it for me. Likewise, I am planting for my children.”
Jerusalem Talmud
Jewish tradition teaches that the future of our community cannot rely on short-term giving alone. To sustain our values and protect the people and institutions we care about most, we must pair today’s generosity with long-term vision.
A Legacy Gift with the Atlanta Jewish Foundation is a meaningful way to answer that call.
Whether you wish to support the Jewish Federation, a synagogue, school, summer camp, or other vital organizations, our team can help you create a charitable plan that strengthens our community L’dor Vador – for generations to come.
Ways to Build a Jewish Legacy
Creating a legacy is deeply personal, and each giving vehicle offers different benefits and impact. Whether you’re looking to sustain the Jewish Federation or other nonprofits, our team will work with you and your family to explore your options and make a plan that brings your charitable vision to life.
Jewish Future Promise
Every legacy begins with a hope for future generations.
The Jewish Future Promise is a global movement encouraging individuals and families to commit that at least 50% of any charitable gifts made upon their passing will support Jewish causes and/or the State of Israel. It is not a legal agreement, but a moral commitment to Jewish continuity.
Over 190,000 people have already made the pledge. Will you join the movement?
Grow a Legacy
This inspiring annual event celebrates our collective legacy and the generous donors who have made a commitment to strengthen the future of Jewish Atlanta.
In partnership with the Harold Grinspoon Foundation Life & Legacy program, our community has secured over 700 legacy commitments, with an estimated future value of $49 million. Together, we are ensuring the Jewish institutions we care about most will thrive far beyond our lifetime.
