As part of this effort FCJC is holding meetings once a month at Shalom Park. These meetings led by FCJC’s Director for Planned Giving, Phil Warshauer, focused on educating the community’s agencies about planned giving/endowments. In April of this year, FCJC held the first of these monthly endow ment educational sessions. The first session was an introduction to planned giving. We discussed the difference between planned giv ing/endowments and annual giv ing and described the long term benefits of developing a planned giving/endowment program. The second session, held in May, focused on creating endowments and the various types of endow ments available to donors. The June and July sessions focused on internal controls and on the gift policies necessary to develop planned giving/endowment pro grams. These last two sessions included guest speakers from Foundation For The Carolinas and Charlotte Country Day School. All of the meetings have been well attended by both professional and lay leadership of a variety of Jewish institutions including, the Jewish Federation of Greater Charlotte, Levine Jewish Community Center, Temple Beth El, Temple Israel, Levine-Sklut Judaic Library, Jewish Family Services, Charlotte Jewish Day School, Charlotte Jewish Preschool and the Foundation for Shalom Park. This high level of participation indicates the interest our Jewish agencies have in build ing a planned giving/endowment program to ensure the long term financial security of their pro gramming that is so important to the members of our community. In addition to securing the financial future of our community we are also working with our agencies on how they can assist their donors. This often involves collaborating with a donor’s pro fessional advisors to assure that the gift is made in the most cost effective manner for each donor. This requires assisting each organ- Foundation for the phadotte Jewish .Community ization to recognize how to assist their donors in making a meaning ful gift while helping the donor to use utilize their assets in the most productive manner. The leadership of the Foundation for the Charlotte Jewish Community is confident that these educational sessions and our partnership with the local Jewish institutions will be instrumental as we continue to help them develop their planned giving/endowment programs and strengthen our Jewish com munity. 0 Alan Kronovet is the current Board Chair for the Foundation for the Charlotte Jewish Community.
