Centennial Countdown Campaign
Building a Legacy for All San Diegans
For more than a century, Jewish Family Service has empowered San Diegans to build better lives for themselves and their families. If you're looking for a way to uplift our neighbors with your planned gift, we invite you to join the JFS Centennial Countdown Campaign. The Campaign was launched in 2018 with a goal of raising $50 million to sustain Jewish Family Service and our life-changing services for years to come. With the generous support of Evelyn and Ernest Rady and a matching gift from the Rady Foundation, gifts made to the Campaign will be matched dollar for dollar up to $25 million.
There are many ways you can join the Centennial Countdown Campaign:
- Make a gift today that costs nothing in your lifetime by leaving JFS in your will or trust.
- If you are 70 ½ or older, you can make a transfer of up to $100,000 per year from your IRA to JFS (qualified charitable distribution).
- Create a charitable gift annuity with a gift of cash or appreciated stock and receive income for your lifetime(s).
- Pledge your support over a period of months or years.
To learn how you can change lives through the Centennial Countdown Campaign, contact Lacey Lee, Director of Planned Giving at (858) 637-3217 or laceyl@jfssd.org.
