Welcome to Create Your Jewish Legacy
Create a Jewish Legacy is a community public awareness campaign designed to help individuals and families support the Jewish causes they care about; building a strong, vibrant community, now and in the future with bequests for permanent endowments. The program promotes the message that all of us have the ability to make a difference in the lives of future Jewish generations.
The core organizations that create the fabric of Jewish life in Cincinnati have joined together to encourage legacy gifts that will sustain our Jewish community.
Create Your Jewish Legacy is funded by the Jewish Federation of Cincinnati. It is a United Jewish Communities pilot program.
Thank you for taking the time to explore the many benefits of creating your Jewish legacy and how you can support the Jewish community for generations to come.
