Planned gifts and endowment support help ensure the David Posnack JCC remains a place of connection, care, Jewish values and community strength for generations.
Good to know: Many planned gifts are made by updating something you already have, like a beneficiary designation or a simple clause in a will.
A bequest is one of the simplest ways to leave a legacy. You can designate a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, a particular asset or a “remainder” gift after other obligations are fulfilled. (This aligns with your rack card language.)
