PLANNED GIVING AND LEADERSHIP GIFTS FOR A LASTING IMPACT

Planned giving and designated legacy gifts are powerful acts of chesed that have enduring effect, benefitting generations of our Touro community in perpetuity. These gifts support Touro without further impacting your current giving practices. By including Touro Synagogue as a beneficiary in your estate planning, you help ensure that our community continues to thrive l’dor v’dor.

Leadership gifts are outright gifts that allow you to witness the direct impact of your generosity during your lifetime.

We’d love to be in conversation with you about your philanthropic goals and invite you to choose the giving opportunities that resonate for you.


TZEDAKAH SOCIETY

There are many ways to plan your legacy. A planned gift can be a simple bequest in your will, or the designation of Touro Synagogue as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy, retirement fund or trust. You can make arrangements for a future gift at any time, without an outlay of funds during your lifetime. To be included in the Tzedakah Society, all you need to do is communicate to us that you have, or intend to include the Synagogue in your estate plan. You are not required to disclose anything about the nature of your gift. All such gifts are deeply appreciated regardless of size. For more information or to let us know you’ve already included Touro in your estate plans, please contact Kurt Jostes, Executive Director.

By designating a legacy gift, you will become a member of Touro Synagogue’s Tzedakah Society established to recognize and honor members who, through their planned gifts, have pledged to help sustain Touro beyond their lifetime.

To determine how a planned gift or legacy giving might impact your particular financial circumstances, we recommend that you consult an attorney, financial advisor, or other qualified professional.
