Endowments Opportunities
Insuring the future viability and growth of the Birthright Israel program will be accomplished only through a rich foundation of established permanent endowment gifts. Gifts such as these provide the required resources needed to perpetuate our efforts and sustain our program's proven outcomes. The establishment of an endowment fund to perpetuate a community trip, post programing in your community or to continue providing your annual gift long after you are gone is critical to maintaining our efforts. These funds can be established during your lifetime or upon your death directly with Birthright Israel Foundation or through your local Federation and will guarantee resources to ensure Jewish continuity.
Benefits
Create a Living Legacy - Your endowment gift expresses your enduring commitment to the future of the Jewish people. It is an eternal gift that can make a critical difference in the days to come.
You and Your Community Benefit - Without income from the endowments, many future applicants could be left behind. In an unstable world, endowments play an increasingly important role in enhancing Birthright Israel's ability to respond positively to our applicants.
Endowment Funds
A named endowment fund creates a permanent legacy, perpetuating your ideals and your name, ensuring the future of the Jewish community.
An unrestricted endowment gift may be made outright, through testamentary instruments, or through deferred gifts that are established now, but benefit Birthright Israel at a future date. The Birthright Israel Foundation offers several endowment options in order to best meet your needs. Each of these options are able to be done directly with the Birthright Israel Foundation or through your local Federation to benefit the Birthright Israel Foundation.
A personalized endowment fund may be established to lower the wait list in a specific area. You may establish a fund to continue your annual campaign gift in perpetuity. Or, you may establish a fund to provide community seats or even a bus in your home town or in areas of concern.
There are a variety of ways to structure your legacy gift. Charitable Gift Annuities, Charitable Remainder Trusts, Outright Gifts and Bequests are just a few of the ways. To find out more, please contact a Planned Giving and Endowment professional at Birthright Israel Foundation or at your local Jewish federation. We would be pleased to provide information and guidance in planning a legacy gift that fulfills your goals and is consistent with your other estate plans.
