Give to the MJCCA: Planned Giving

Tribute and Endowment Funds

For more than one hundred years, Jews with vastly fewer resources than are available today built a Jewish community center in Atlanta. They came to Atlanta with little more than their passion for a better life and with their hands and their hearts, they built a safe, secure and vibrant community center for their families and for all of the Jewish Atlanta families who followed. Today, Jews all over metropolitan Atlanta enjoy the fruits of their labors at the Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta.

The MJCCA has taught children, cared for the frail, embraced individuals with special needs, enthused teens and young adults, provided cultural opportunities, nourished bodies and souls and provided the meaningful and caring connections that make us a community. For 100 years, the MJCCA has turned everyday minutes into Jewish moments that are remembered for a lifetime.

The MJCCA has given the Atlanta Jewish community a place to gather and connect for 100 years and now the MJCCA looks to the community to give back to us by growing our endowment.

Offering groundbreaking and inventive programs that connect the Jewish community and strengthen Jewish identity makes a difference to individuals, to our community and to our world. This is what the MJCCA strives to achieve and we will only be successful because of the support of the community who have been touched by our work. By growing our endowment funds, the MJCCA will solidify its position as the cornerstone of the Atlanta Jewish community for the next 100 years.

Tribute and Endowment Funds are a lasting legacy for you and your family and help to support the MJCCA for years to come.

You can develop a philanthropic vision for your financial estate that will include support for the MJCCA in years to come. This important form of giving can be established through life insurance, Charitable Remainder Unitrust (CRUTS), Endowments, Naming Opportunities and other financial vehicles.

• Tribute Funds are established with a minimum contribution of $10,000.
• Endowment Funds are established with a minimum contribution of $50,000.

Endowment funds will:

• alleviate the burdens of burgeoning operating costs;
• provide for continuous growth and capital improvements;
• generate greatly needed scholarship dollars;
• allow for creative innovation of new programs and services;
• ease the dependence on grants and annual giving;
• lessen the reliance on membership dues;
• and provide reserve funds for the next 100 years.
