What is Life and Legacy?
Life and Legacy is a collaborative program between the Harold Grinspoon Foundation and the United Jewish Federation of Stamford, New Canaan and Darien with Schoke Jewish Family Service that helps individuals and families create legacy gifts for the Jewish causes they care about.
Why Leave a Legacy Gift?
A legacy lasts forever! Creating your Jewish legacy gift will help guarantee that Schoke JFS will be sustainable long after you are gone. Chances are you are already supporting Jewish charitable organizations in Fairfield County. While these current gifts are essential to meet the ongoing needs of Schoke JFS, by leaving a Legacy Gift you can assure the critical Schoke JFS services that mean so much to you today will exist for future generations.
How do I Participate?
Each of us regardless of age, wealth or family situation has the ability to leave a legacy. Your legacy gift can be totally customized and structured to fit your lifestyle, financial interests or specific Schoke JFS area of interest.
Legacy gifts can be provided through a gift in a will or trust, retirement funds or other charitable contributions.
To join our Schoke JFS Legacy Giving Circle, contact Matt Greenberg, CEO at 203-921-4161 or complete a Letter of Intent.
Schoke JFS extends our deepest appreciation to the following donors for joining our Legacy Giving Circle.
