Declaration of Intent

Perhaps you are planning to leave a gift to JCFS beyond your lifetime, but have not decided what type of gift it will be. Signing a declaration of intent is a wonderful way to let us know JCFS will be able to count on you for that support.

When you sign a declaration of intent, you are simply making a statement like this:

I promise to make a gift to the Jewish Child and Family Services Endowment Foundation either during my lifetime or through provisions in my will.

When you decide how you will fulfill your legacy gift, you can quantify your declaration of intent by letting JCFS know of your planned gift.

 We welcome the opportunity to speak with you and your attorney or financial adviser about this and other ways you can continue to support JCFS beyond your lifetime. For more information or to schedule a conversation, please contact Barbara Chandler, Development Associate for Endowments, 312-673-3211 or click here to send Barbara an email.

The Jewish Child and Family Services Endowment Foundation was created in partnership with the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago’s Agency Endowment Program, which was established to assure that JCFS and our sister agencies have the necessary resources to meet growing and evolving Jewish community needs. All commitments to the Agency Endowment Foundation are recognized as gifts to the Jewish Federation’s Centennial Campaign.
