Plan Today for a Vibrant Tomorrow through the Jewish Community Foundation

 

FUTURE FOCUSED

PLAN TODAY FOR YOUR FAMILY’S TOMORROW WITH ESTATE PLANNING 101

Does setting up an estate plan seem overwhelming? What else do you need besides a will? Where do you and your family even begin? 

On Wednesday, June 23rd, Jewish for Good hosted an Estate Planning 101 virtual workshop designed for parents of kids of all ages. Attendees learned about the estate planning process, like creating a trust, understanding life insurance beneficiaries, creating advance directives, appointing fiduciaries, and so much more, for free. Here’s the recording of the webinar, led by Attorney Holly Birnbaum Martin of McPherson, Rocamora, Nicholson, Wilson & Hinkle, PLLC in Durham, NC. Ensure that your family will be well cared for should something happen to you.

This event is made possible by the generous contributions of Life & Legacy, a program of the Harold Grinspoon Foundation, and the Jewish for Good Jewish Community Foundation. Read more about the Foundation below.

Program begins at 4:27. Feel free to skip through the official start.


The Jewish Community Foundation fosters and supports the members of our community in fulfilling their social, educational, and charitable philanthropic goals and maintaining the long-standing Jewish traditions of pursuing tzedakah and tikkun olam

We strive to accomplish this by:

  • Empowering donors to convert generous ideas into deliberate action;

  • Serving as a central hub and advocate for charitable giving to help individuals, families, and community organizations achieve their charitable goals; and

  • Receiving, administering, investing, and disbursing funds to ensure the viability of our community life for generations to come.

Each year the funds held at the Jewish Community Foundation convert generous ideas into deliberate action through the grants and disbursements made. These grants and disbursements support Jewish and secular nonprofits locally and beyond. Annually the Foundation tends to grant and distribute approximately $450,000.  

Ways to Plan Today 

It is our goal to assist you on a personal and confidential basis to create the most meaningful gift possible. Gifts can be funded with cash, securities, or illiquid assets. We can also help you to create a lasting legacy that will be funded at a later date or as an after-lifetime gift. This can be accomplished through bequests, life insurance, or retirement plans.
