"It takes a noble person to plant a seed that may provide future shade for someone never met."

Endowments are funds that keep giving in perpetuity. These funds are established through a large monetary gift and, unlike a bequest, are executed and brought to fruition during a person's lifetime
The income generated by these funds is used to pay for a variety of projects or programs that are of interest to the endower. 

For many families in our community there is the opportunity to leave a living legacy that will not only help fund these growing needs for years to come, but has the potential to also shape how our community responds to dealing with these needs.

The JCA is seeking to actively engage with these families to establish endowment funds to meet both their own requirements and the highest priority needs of our community. The primary benefit of an endowment fund is to provide an ongoing source of income which is available to fund the needs of the community for generations to come.

The Talmud teaches that as our parents planted for us, so must we plant for our children.
