DESIGNATED/RESTRICTED FUNDS
FOR SYNAGOGUES, AGENCIES AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS
With the Jewish Foundation, you can establish a named Designated/Restricted Fund for your synagogue, for Jewish education, for the needy, for Israel, for the arts, or for any charitable program or organization that is important to you.
These funds can be established in honor of a family member, or in memory of loved ones, and will provide annual distributions, in perpetuity, to the designated organization(s). The Jewish Foundation will make annual distributions to the designated charitable organization and, in the fund agreement, you can provide for a contingent beneficiary organization should the designated organization cease to exist, lose its tax-exempt status or substantially alter its mission. Restricted/Designated Funds can be established with a minimum gift of $10,000.
