About Planned Giving and Endowments

Your presence is needed. For your family. For your community. For Israel. For the Jewish people. A planned gift to your Jewish community enables you to be present forever. Whether your gift is used to provide for the needs of the Jewish poor, to assist the elderly, to rescue Jews in need around the world or to fight anti-Semitism -- no matter where or when in the future, you can be there to help... learn more.

Women's Philanthropy

The Lion of Judah Endowment (LOJE) allows you to help secure a strong and vibrant Jewish community for your children and grandchildren to enjoy. And provide for the needs of the Jewish poor, assist the elderly, rescue Jews facing hardship and peril around the world, fight anti-Semitism and help protect Israel, decades from now and for generations to come.

Join the over 2800 women who have established a LOJE, which you can create to fit your philanthropic and financial goals with a gift of  $100,000 or more.

Star of David Society

The Star of David Society of United Jewish Communities and the federations of North America is an elite national recognition program that honors outstanding philanthropists through special events and publications.

A PACE or LOJE of $200,000, or other permanent endowments of $500,000 or more invites your participation in the Star of David Society. You can provide unrestricted funds to help meet future community needs; or to provide permanent resources to aid identified programs, projects, agencies, organizations, or initiatives that are of particular interest to you and your family.

Join this exemplary network of donors whose commitment to the Jewish community extends beyond the present.
