LIFE AND LEGACY SOCIETY AT CHABAD
WHAT IS LIFE AND LEGACY SOCIETY?
LIFE & LEGACY is a four-year partnership program of the Harold Grinspoon Foundation that assists communities across North America, through partnerships with Jewish Federations and Foundations to promote after-lifetime giving to build endowments that will sustain valued organizations and vibrant Jewish communities for the next generation and beyond.
WHERE DOES CHABAD FIT IN?
By deciding to leave a legacy gift to Chabad of Sarasota and Manatee Counties, you can create a permanent legacy for yourself, thus assuring the future of Jewish continuity. There’s no limit on the amount you may set aside from your estate – you may make a gift as large or as small as you like. You may choose to make a gift of cash, securities or other property – and your estate will receive a tax deduction in the amount of your charitable bequest. If you have already drafted your will, your attorney can help you arrange a charitable bequest with a simple amendment or codicil.
WHAT IS A LGEACY GIFT?
A legacy gift comes in the form of a gift in any size and can be customized and structured to fit your dreams, lifestyle, family and financial needs.

-
Gift in a will (bequest)

WHY SHOULD I CONSIDER A LEGACY GIFT?
Our legacy donors are people like you, who love and treasure our Jewish traditions, and who want our children, grandchildren and generations to come to be enriched by a strong and thriving Jewish tradition.
“I found a fruitful world, because my ancestors planted it for me. Likewise, I am planting for future generations.” -Talmud, Taanit 23a
