Create Your Jewish Legaey (CJL) is an initiative led by the Foundation for the Charlotte Jew ish Community (FCJC) to build eommunity endowments through legaey gifts. What are legacy gifts and why are they important? Unlike annual giving requiring gifts of disposable ineome or eur rent assets, legaey gifts utilize re tirement assets or lifetime assets. A legaey gift provides the oppor tunity to ereate gifts at little or no eost today that will be realized by an organization at a future date. Legaey giving ereates endow ments that will finaneially support the future of our Jewish organiza tions. How do incentive grants work? The Harold Grinspoon Foun dation’s (HGF) Life and Legaey program has established a two- year partnership with the Founda tion for the Charlotte Jewish Community’s (FCJC) to provide finaneial support for our eommu- nity’s Create Your Jewish Legaey initiative. This support enables us to provide ineentive grants to our eommunity partner organizations for obtaining legaey eommit ments. These grants provide unre- strieted gifts of eash for reaehing pre-determined annual legaey goals. The grants also motivate donors to make legaey eommit ments today enabling organiza tions to reeeive these unrestrieted legaey grants. (See artiele above about HGF’s Challenge) The Harold Grinspoon Foundation has eommitted up to $20 million na tion-wide to provide eommunities with matehing grants in support of the legaey initiatives. What are the most common ways for me to establish my legacy gift? Everyone has a unique family and finaneial situation. Your legaey gift of any size ean be de signed to mateh your personal eir- eumstanees. Some of the easiest ways to ereate a legaey gift are: * A will * Qualified retirement plan * Life insuranee poliey * Charitable remainder trust Who are candidates for Jewish legacy giving? Everyone who has a passion for the future of our Jewish eom munity and its organizations. ^ Create "ou^ewish Legacij a
