Establish an Endowment Fund to Help Shape the Future
An endowment fund is money invested with AJC which earns revenue to fund charitable activity. The principal value of the fund is kept intact and each year a portion of the income earned is distributed to further the goals of AJC just as the donor intends. An endowment fund can be held permanently allowing you to support AJC forever.
Endowed funds create a secure, perpetual source of funding helping to put AJC on a strong financial foundation for the future.
An endowed fund at AJC can be created in several ways:
a one-time current year gift
a multi-year gift
a planned gift established through the donor’s estate plan
Donations to endowed funds created during lifetime are tax deductible. Depending on the size of the estate, an endowed fund created through an estate plan may result in a charitable deduction for the estate.
Your endowed fund can be used to perpetuate you annual giving to AJC, to focus on a specific aspect of AJC’s work like supporting Israel, interfaith or interethnic engagement, combatting antisemitism, or creating opportunities for young adults. We will work with you to match your philanthropic goals and interests to the needs of AJC.
