Charitable Bequest

 
Protect the people you love. Create a lasting partnership
with the Jewish community. Help ensure its future.
Your will makes it possible.
 
 
By deciding to leave a bequest of a specific amount of cash, a percentage of your estate, or the remainder of your estate, you can create a permanent legacy. There’s no limit on the amount you may set aside from your estate—you may make a gift as large or as small as you’d like. You may choose to make a gift of cash, securities, or other property—and your estate will receive a tax deduction in the amount of your charitable bequest. If you have already drafted your will, your attorney can help you arrange a charitable bequest with a simple amendment, or codicil.

Here are some examples of how you might create a charitable bequest in your will:

Help the Jewish community address its most pressing current needs by making a general bequest.

I bequeath $_______ (or _____% of my residuary estate) to the Jacksonville Jewish Foundation of _________________, (city), (state).

I bequeath $________ (or ______% of my residuary estate) to the Jacksonville Jewish Foundation of ____________, (city), (state), to establish an endowment fund to be used for the general purposes of the Jacksonville Jewish Foundation .

Provide a gift to a specific agency or area of interest to you with
a specific area or interest bequest.

I bequeath $________ (or ______% of my residuary estate) to the Jacksonville Jewish Foundation of ____________, (city), (state), to support ___________ (the Jewish Family Service, charitable needs in Israel, Jewish Education, the Jewish Home, etc…)

Support a specific agency or cause of interest to you every year, in perpetuity, with a designated bequest to establish an endowment fund.
