Ways to Give

Giving for the

greatest

Need

Private generosity makes a critical difference, enabling The Jewish Home Foundation to sustain the community and serve our mission. Your investment allows Jewish Home to seek innovative options, helping people age meaningfully and with dignity. See the impact of your gift for yourself by clicking here. Please join us to support the work of the Foundation.

Now, more than ever, we need your help in order to continue to care for all those in our community.

The needs of those we serve threaten to outpace our resources. Many seniors are living longer and longer and, through no fault of their own, their financial resources just aren’t enough to see them through. We are innovating every step of the way to ensure quality of life for seniors and peace of mind for their families—all while maintaining a commitment to choice, dignity, compassion, and meaning. Today marks a new chapter in the history of Jewish Home. Together, let’s turn the page… With your help, our residents can live longer and live better.

We invite you to join us in supporting these critical areas:

Annual Giving
- Platinum Circle
- Golden Alliance
- Friends of the Foundation
Planned Giving
Tribute Giving
Corporate Giving

Planned Giving: This is Legacy

Did you know that you can make a planned gift to Jewish Home Foundation and include your loved ones in your estate plans? Planned giving is a beautiful way to support the people, causes, and organizations that you care about long into the future. One of the ways that Jewish Home is able to consistently provide leading care is through the legacy and generosity of those who came before us. By including Jewish Home Foundation in your estate plans, you help us to continue to provide excellent care for generations to come.

Tribute Giving: This is honor

There are many milestones in life. A donation can make those milestones even more memorable. It is a gift that pays tribute to someone in a truly meaningful way.

IN HONOR.

Commemorate special occasions like birthdays, bar and bat mitzvahs, weddings and anniversaries with your tribute gift. We’ll send an acknowledgment to your honoree or honoree’s family to notify them of your thoughtful gift.

IN MEMORY.

Keep a loved one’s memory alive with a digital memorial yahrzeit plaque. Each digital plaque will preserve you loved one’s name and date of passing in our beautiful Joseph E. Silverstein Memorial Court located in the Jewish Home Farash Tower.

Corporate Giving: This is impact

Now it’s my turn to show the next generation the importance of giving back to the community that has given our family so much.”

— Ed Bloom, Donor
