We invite you to become a member of the Judean Club, created exclusively to give special recognition to members of our community who help ensure our future through gifts designated in their wills, trusts or estate plans.
As a Judean Club member, you'll receive a certificate of appreciation and a JCC lapel pin to serve as a reminder to others of your support of our mission. In addition, you will be invited to a variety of special programs designed exclusively for Judean Club members. The club also provides information and assistance to donors considering a planned gift.
Join others and express your support. All bequests and planned gifts, regardless of their size, are important in helping provide for the future of the JCC. Membership in the Judean Club is based on the method of giving and involves no dues or obligations of any kind. If you included the JCC in your estate plans, please let us know so we may recognize you as a Judean Club member.
Please contact Tamara Cohen , development director by phone (585) 461.2000 ext.210 or email for information.

Planned Giving Vehicles

Charitable Bequests
The easiest and most popular planned gift method is a bequest through one's will or personal or real trust. Your bequest can be a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate or the balance of your estate after you have provided for your loved ones. A charitable bequest enables you to retain your assets during your lifetime, while helping the JCC in years to come. Properly executed charitable bequests are an integral part of a comprehensive, tax-wise estate plan.

Charitable Gift Annuity
A charitable gift annuity is a popular gift option that provides you and/or your designees with an annual income stream, while creating a permanent legacy after death.

Charitable Lead Trust
A charitable lead trust is both an income-and wealth-transfer vehicle, enabling you to transfer income-producing assets to the next generation at a significantly lower tax cost, while meeting your philanthropic objectives.

Charitable Remainder Trust
A charitable remainder trust is a way to create a legacy in your name and receive income from the trust for life or for a term of years.

Life Insurance
A gift of life insurance may be an affordable and flexible method to establish a planned gift. By purchasing a life insurance policy that names the JCC as the owner and beneficiary, you may receive a charitable gift deduction for each premium payment. A paid-up policy allows you to receive a charitable gift deduction approximately equal to the cash surrender value when the policy is donated.

Please email Tamara Cohen , development director call (585) 461.2000 ext.210 for information about any of these giving opportunities.

Tribute Gifts

A great way to offer condolences, say thank you, happy birthday, get well, or commemorate any special occasion is to make a tribute donation to the JCC. These donations can be made to any Center Fund or any JCC program area in honor of or in memory of that special person. A beautiful acknowledgement card will be sent and all donations over $10 will be listed in the JCC Magazine.

Please call Bobbie White at (585) 461.2000 ext.213 to make your tribute donation over the phone or download this Tribute Form to help facilitate your contribution.
