What Will Your Legacy Be?
A legacy gift enables you to turn your dream of ensuring our community can meet the needs and challenges of the future into a reality in this moment. The same charitable act you perform to provide for your Jewish community this year can ensure that the community receives a gift on your behalf every year, through your lifetime and beyond.

Frequently Asked Legacy Questions
First, reflect on your priorities and what is important to you. You may want to endow your gift to the Federation Annual Campaign or fund your favorite program so it can continue indefinitely. A legacy gift to Federation can be directed to strengthen the State of Israel, build Jewish community here in San Diego, or help Jews in need, anywhere in the world. You decide.
No matter what your income or estate value is, your gift is important.
Yes! In partnership with the Jewish Community Foundation, we will collaborate with you and your professional advisors to create a gift that enhances your unique financial and charitable goals. We are available to meet and consult with you and your advisors throughout the process.
