OTHER WAYS TO GIVE

Be Part of Something Bigger Than a Donation

At JVS, we believe in the extraordinary power of a community that stands together.
Whether through a gift of stock, a donor-advised fund, a legacy gift, or a corporate partnership, you become an essential piece of our mosaic.

Corporate Giving

• Corporate Sponsorships: Support annual events, such as Global Table.
• Workplace Giving & Matching: Set up easy payroll deductions or match employee contributions to double your corporate footprint.
• In-Kind Support: Sponsor community donation drives for winter clothing, back-to-school setups, or household goods. Reach out for our most current needs.

Legacy & Planned Giving – Transform Lives for Generations to Come

• Bequests: Include Jewish Vocational Service in your will or living trust to secure the future of our newest neighbors.
• Beneficiary Designations: Name JVS as a beneficiary of your retirement account, life insurance policy, or investments.
• Charitable Gift Annuities & Trusts: Receive a fixed income for life while dedicating the remaining assets to long-term integration support.
• Designated Endowment Funds: You can work with the Jewish Community Foundation, for example, to establish a permanent Endowment Fund named for you or your family, explicitly designated to support JVS. The historic principal of your gift remains invested, and a reliable stream of annual income is distributed to JVS forever.

Stocks & Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs)

Turn Appreciated Assets into Integration Success

• Gifts of Stock: Donating appreciated securities directly lets you completely avoid capital gains taxes while receiving a full market value deduction. Reach out to us for account information and to let us know about your gift so we can confirm and acknowledge it.
• Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs): Easily recommend a one-time or recurring grant to JVS from your DAF using our legal info below.
• IRA Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs): If you are 70½ or older, you can instruct your IRA custodian to make a tax-free transfer directly to JVS
• Under federal law, mandatory Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) do not begin until age 73 (for those born 1951–1959) or age 75 (for those born 1960 or later). However, the IRS allows you to utilize the tax-free QCD strategy starting at age 70½. This allows you to reduce the taxable balance of your IRA years before you are forced to take withdrawals.
