Jewish Endowment Foundation's Vision
Established in 1972, the Jewish Endowment Foundation (JEF) is the planned giving division of the Jewish Federation of Western Massachusetts. It provides all community members with the opportunity to make a meaningful impact to shape and enhance Jewish life for generations through endowment and planned gifts. These commitments provide resources in perpetuity which allow the Federation to meet the challenges and needs of the Pioneer Valloey Jewish community today and tomorrow.
Endowment contributions can be made during your lifetime or through your will, trust, retirement account or life insurance policy. Gifts can be added to an existing endowment fund or used to create a new fund to support the Annual Campaign or a specific area of interest such as a scholarship, program support, or other communal needs.
The Federation endowment allows our community to maintain a permanent, self-sustaining source of income to support existing programs and develop new approaches to address emerging needs locally, domestically and globally.
