Including JCCF in my will assures that the things I care about, the community which has been my home, will be here for future generations to enjoy and benefit from. I have great confidence in JCCF and it is a privilege to be part of the legacy of the foundation.

Legacy Giving

Making a bequest to JCCF in your will is an easy way to make a charitable gift — one that carries your passion for your community into the future.

Working with your attorney, you can choose to give to an existing fund or to establish a fund of your own. Either way, you make a lasting gift to the place and institutions you care about.

We invite you to join these members of our community who have made bequests.

Why should I make a bequest?

A bequest can enable you to make a larger gift than would be possible during your lifetime. A bequest can also reduce your assets subject to estate tax. No matter your reason, a bequest ensures that your wishes are carried out in support of the causes you care about.
