Life & Legacy®
A community campaign for the Jewish future
We are asking one another to act upon a simple but profound question: what will our Jewish legacy be?

How Do I Get Started?
Being part of the Life & Legacy movement only takes one small first step: simply indicate that you have the intention of leaving a gift to one of the participating organizations. You can do this by filling out a letter of intent, reaching out to your contact at the agency of your choice, or contacting Lisa Hacker at the Federation.
You can make a meaningful and lasting impact on Jewish Cleveland with a gift in your will, trust, retirement account, or life insurance policy.
Caring for those in need, promoting Jewish learning, celebrating our history and heritage, fostering meaningful relationships and lifelong connections – your gift will help make sure that everything you love about living in Jewish Cleveland will endure long into the future.
