Make a gift that keeps on giving by opening an endowment fund benefiting CJFS or by contributing to an existing CJFS fund. These funds ensure that we will be here to care for our community today and always. All of our CJFS endowments are thoughtfully managed by the Birmingham Jewish Foundation.

Endowment Funds may be used for unrestricted purposes to provide support to CJFS or may be designated by the donor to make your dream a reality. Current funds provide life sustaining assistance, subsidies for services, interest free loans and many opportunities to enhance the well being of the members of our community.

Minimum gifts to establish an Endowment Fund is $1,000, and gifts to any existing Endowment Fund benefiting CJFS begin at $25.
