A common way to contribute, of course, is of an endowment fund can be broad or specific.
Donors can support general community needs, a particular interest or agency, or a specific program.
One of our various fund types – unrestricted, restricted, philanthropic or a supporting UJCVP Endowment Fund – should meet the charitable goals of every member of our Jewish community.
What are the UJCVP Endowment Fund Options?
Gifts to endowment can take many forms, including lifetime giving, bequests, charitable gift annuities and insurance policies.
Gifts of Cash – Establishing your fund within the UJC Endowment Fund using cash is as simple as writing a check.
Gifts of Stock – Donors enjoy a two-fold advantage in donating long-term appreciated assets: they avoid capital gains tax and receive a charitable tax deduction for the full fair market value of the asset.
Life Insurance Policy – Using a life insurance policy insures our Jewish future in a unique and meaningful way. This method can be very cost-effective, especially for the younger donor.
Retirement Plans – These can be powerful tools for endowing a charitable legacy to the community while avoiding heavy estate and income taxes.
Real Estate & Investment Properties – For some donors, gifts of real estate may be the most convenient way to make a meaningful gift as they continue to support the work of the UJC Endowment Fund.
Other Options – There are many other ways to make a gift of almost any size.
