Named Funds
Often established in honor of their families or in memory of a loved one
or to commemorate a special occasion or call attention to a cause close
to one’s heart, JFS named funds are lasting tributes that provide
critical services to the community – now and forever. We are most
grateful to the families that have already established Named Funds.

Mezuzah Fund
Mezuzahs symbolize God’s presence and God’s commandments. On each
doorpost in each of our facilities is a mezuzah. Individuals,
corporations and families each have the opportunity to purchase a
mezuzah providing funds for operational costs. We gratefully acknowledge
those who contributed to the Mezuzah Fund.

Gifts of Stock
Many JFS donors choose to make their gifts through appreciated stock. By
choosing a stock gift, you gain the satisfaction of supporting people in
need, while bypassing capital-gains taxes and receiving substantial
income-tax deductions. To conduct a stock transfer please contact
Scott Feinman, RBC Wealth Management at 1-302-993-8260.
Life Insurance Gifts
You may transfer ownership of a life insurance policy to Jewish Family
Services or make JFS the beneficiary of the insurance policy. This type
of gift is particularly popular with donors who have taken out "extra"
life insurance policies that will not be needed and others who wish to
make a large philanthropic gift to benefit JFS but cannot afford to make
an outright gift.
It is
not difficult to make a life-insurance gift. You simply complete a
change of ownership/beneficiary form that can be supplied by your
insurance company. A life-insurance gift has the following benefits:
-
You may have a superfluous policy and would like JFS to benefit.
-
You can make a larger philanthropic gift through life insurance than
may be possible as an outright gift. Affordable premiums can produce
a large death benefit.
-
You receive an income-tax deduction for the paid-up life insurance
policy's replacement value (the cost for obtaining an identical
policy).
Real Estate Gifts
More and more businesses and individuals are realizing the benefits of
donating real estate to JFS. This makes sense for several reasons, not
the least of which is avoiding the expense of marketing the property.
And it will certainly boost your company's image in the community by
sharing your good fortune with those who rely on JFS for support.
Donations of land can produce highly beneficial tax results. Many real
estate holdings have appreciated greatly in recent years and may be
subject to capital gains taxes if sold. Donation of real estate directly
to JFS or through the use of a charitable remainder trust often
minimizes these taxes and provides an income tax deduction.
So
when you give a gift of your home or real property to JFS, you may claim
an income tax charitable deduction based on the full market value of the
gift, avoid capital gains taxes, and eliminate certain costs associated
with the transfer of real property. Gifts of real estate can also
provide income for you.
Because special IRS regulations apply to the contribution of real
estate, such as substantiation of value through a "qualified appraisal"
and depreciation recapture, it is important to obtain professional
advice if you are thinking about donating real estate.
