Your commitment supports programs, services and everything we offer, today and for years to come.

Why Make a Planned Gift?
Making a planned gift goes beyond the present; it’s about leaving a lasting legacy for future generations. It is a long-term commitment to a cause that resonates with you and can also be a tax-smart investment.
The simplicity and flexibility of planned giving make it easily accessible, allowing you to contribute at your own pace, with the option to adjust your commitment if circumstances change. The long-term impact of your planned gift acts as continuous support, reinforcing the vitality and resilience of the Jewish community for generations to come.
When you make a planned gift, you not only invest in your values but also make a lasting difference in Jewish lives, year after year. It’s a straightforward process and easily revocable at any time. Your planned gift to the Kaplen JCC on the Palisades embodies your values and priorities—a powerful continuation of the impact you hold dear.
