A simple, flexible, and versatile way to make a gift is through your will or living trust, known as a charitable bequest. By including a bequest to JF&CS in your will or living trust, you can support our mission without giving up assets during your lifetime.

Bequest Language

I give and bequeath the sum of $_____ (or _______% of my residuary estate) to Jewish Family & Children’s Service (JF&CS) to be used in support of its general charitable purposes.

Supporting JF&CS after your lifetime is easy to do with a beneficiary designation. Just name JF&CS as a beneficiary to receive assets such as retirement plans, life insurance policies, and donor-advised funds after you're gone. In each case, you can choose to leave all or part of the account to JF&CS.
