Legacy giving
By making a legacy gift, you invest in your values and make a difference in the lives of thousands, year after year. It’s easy to do. It’s revocable at any time. There are many ways to do it, but when your gift comes through, you will be supporting the Evelyn Rubenstein Jewish Community Center forever.
Creating a legacy empowers you to continue the work of your heart by ensuring that the evolving needs of our community are met. Donors in our Legacy Society ensure our long-term stability, depth of resources, and the realization of the dreams of so many who believe in the strength and future of the Evelyn Rubenstein Jewish Community Center.
Simple Ways to Make a Lasting Impact
- Will or trust: Putting the Evelyn Rubenstein Jewish Community Center in your will or trust is a simple way to make a gift—and sends a message that the community is also one of your heirs.
- Retirement account, IRA, or life insurance: Use what you need during your lifetime and designate some or all of what’s left to the community by designating the Evelyn Rubenstein JCC as a beneficiary of your account.
- Other ways: There are many other ways to make a legacy gift depending on your situation. Explore your options and contact us if you would like guidance or advice.
Our legacy donors are people just like you who want to see their children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren enjoy all the benefits of a strong and vibrant Jewish Community Center.
