Anne & Norman Jacobson Jewish Community Foundation This year we saw the incredible generosity and long-term vision of Anne and Norman Jacobson in their gift that named our Foundation. This outstanding commitment allows us to work strategically toward the creation of endowments that will protect our institutions in perpetuity. We launched the Create a Jewish Legacy Program that has resulted in 15 partnerships with local Jewish communal organizations— all working together to promote legacy giving. And, at our Mitzvah Society Event, we honored 55 professionals who have developed planned gifts for Foundation. We also inducted three new professionals and celebrated Don Tescher for a lifetime of commitment to the Jewish people. This year alone, Mitzvah Society members have brought in $5.7 million in expectancies and $3.65 million in received dollars! Our Professional Advisory Committee (PAC) is growing strong with 92 members. Ten of us recently traveled to Washington, D.C, for an intensive three-day advocacy mission and were briefed by top officials. We are all pleased with this season’s efforts— and results.
