Leave A Legacy

LEAVE A LEGACY…Making Dreams a Reality

Endowment Funds and commitments through the Birmingham Jewish Foundation on behalf of Collat Jewish Family Services ensure that we will be here to care for our community today and always.

Funds 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.

Many Ways to Create a Legacy

• Gifts of Real Property
• Gifts of Closely Held Stock
• Gifts of Life Insurance
• Bequests to CJFS

Additional information on all methods of giving is available through consultation with the Birmingham Jewish Foundation. Since planned giving should be tailored to individual circumstances, the Foundation is ready to work with you and your advisors to develop a strategy of giving that benefits you and Collat Jewish Family Services.

Contact Sally Friedman at the Birmingham Jewish Foundation at 803-1519 (email: sallyf@bjf.org) or contact CJFS directly, 879-3438.

People who designate money in their estate for charitable organizations select an average of four organizations in their will.
