Ways to Give

Flexibility To Help You Realize Your Philanthropic Goals

The Foundation’s flexibility and wide range of giving options makes it possible for you to combine and centralize your support for all of the community organizations and programs that are meaningful to you. Both immediate gifts and and deferred gifts offer you significant tax benefits and the opportunity to realize your philanthropic goals and leave a legacy that will endure for generations.

By making a living gift you can experience the satisfaction of seeing the results of your generosity at work and the impact that it has on the community. Immediate or living gifts can be given in several ways: as cash, payroll deductions, publicly traded securities, Canada Savings Bonds or State of Israel Bonds.

All living gifts provide annual distribution income in perpetuity.

By making a deferred gift, you can incur significant tax advantages for your estate while leaving a lasting legacy. Deferred gifts can be given in several ways: as bequests, life insurance policies, RRSPs, RRIFs, pension plans and charitable remainder trusts. You are encouraged to remember that as your deferred gift will be your final gift, it should appropriately reflect your appreciation for and sense of gratitude to your community.

Like all donors, you will have your own motivations for giving to the Jewish Foundation of Manitoba and leaving a lasting legacy.

Perhaps you wish to:

• Ensure a strong and viable future for Manitoba’s Jewish community
• Ensure a strong and viable future for all Manitobans
• Ensure community organizations have resources they can rely on
• Give back to the community that contributed to your good fortune and success
• Repay support you received in the past
• Enrich lives by supporting programs and services in the community
• Help others achieve their goals
• Provide financial support for students to pursue their academic goals
• Support arts and cultural organizations that enrich the province
• Support health institutions that have assisted you or your family
• Maintain support for charities and causes you supported during your lifetime
• Remember loved ones who have passed away
• Commemorate important events in the lives of family and friends.

Give a gift you can be proud of! Your gift will be invested in perpetuity and the annual income earned will be distributed to charitable causes in accordance with the Foundation’s distribution policy. Over the long term, your gift will provide much more financial support to these causes than the original value of your gift. A gift to the Jewish Foundation of Manitoba keeps on giving.

Give when you can. Gifts made to the Foundation during your lifetime give you the opportunity to see your donation working, and giving regularly allows your support to grow over time. Gifts willed as bequests may allow you to make a larger gift than would otherwise be possible and also help your estate to realize significant tax advantages. All gifts are invested in perpetuity.
