Alumnus Daniel Winston called Birthright Israel the 10 most important days of his life. “Birthright Israel did, in fact, create my Jewish identity, something I will never lose sight of again,” he said.
Your Gift Can Be Your Legacy
It’s Birthright Israel Foundation’s donors who we have to thank for making these life-changing experiences possible. “We’ve seen the stats, we’ve heard the stories, and we’ve been fortunate enough to meet the alumni, so we know the program works,” said donor Sara Meyers. “There is power in the experience young adults have on the trip and it enables them to form community.”
Before Birthright Israel, Abbey Taub feared for the future of the Jewish people, especially “the trajectory of my generation and those to follow.” But during her Birthright Israel trip, the alumna gained hope and peace of mind. “Because of Birthright Israel,” she said, “I am confident American Jews will always stand with Israel.”
4. Your Jewish values will be honored forever. Do you want to see the impact of your generosity during your lifetime and also continue to contribute afterwards? Ensure the continuity of your strong ideals, your philanthropic goals, your name (or a loved one’s name), and the Jewish community with the strongest possible message of support: an Endowment Fund. Your gift to an endowment fund can support any aspect of Birthright Israel's work.
5. It's an opportunity to take control of your long-term financial goals. A legacy gift to Birthright Israel Foundation doesn’t have to hit your wallet now. Instead, you can preserve both the value of your estate and the financial health of your family while simultaneously realizing your philanthropic aspirations. One way to do this is to bequest a gift by will or through a revocable living trust. Bequests, which take several forms, may be designated for a particular purpose or program, or left up to our discretion. Funds may be named in honor or memory of particular individuals, foundations, or families.
6. You will become part of the Planned Giving community. When you become part of our Planned Giving community, your philanthropic family instantly grows. You’ll receive exclusive invitations to events sponsored by Birthright Israel Legacy Society. Plus, you’ll get to see the impact your support is making. Rest assured, it will continue to make an impact, even beyond your lifetime. Best of all, there are no dues or obligations.
