Message From The President
"Kimberly and I are delighted to participate in the Jacksonville Jewish Foundation. We support and encourage the Foundation in the furtherance of its mission and goals. This Foundation is providing a means for the Jacksonville Jewish community to amass continuing, long-term, permanent financial resources. Funds established through the Foundation will always be there to ensure the future of our synagogues and local and overseas agencies.
Over the next decade or so, there will be an enormous inter-generational transfer of wealth. Kimberly and I believe that our community leadership demonstrated enormous foresight in creating the Jacksonville Jewish Foundation. They realized that there was a need in our community for a foundation to serve as our Jewish community's central agency to help meet the long-term philanthropic needs of donors. By creating the Foundation to serve as the repository for some of this wealth, we have provided a mechanism that will allow our generous donors to realize their philanthropic goals and objectives.
Our community will some day look back and recognize the significance of the creation of the Jacksonville Jewish Foundation. Generations to come will realize that this planned giving and endowment development partnership venture is one of the most important steps we took in an effort to help preserve our rich Jewish heritage and traditions thus ensuring Jewish continuity."
