The Council For Jews With Special Needs has established a planned giving initiative to benefit children and adults who have disabilities for decades to come. We encourage our supporters to consider helping the Council For Jews With Special Needs by remembering us in your estate plan.   

There are many ways to establish a lasting legacy.  Leaving a cash bequest, naming the Council as a beneficiary of a retirement account, establishing an endowment fund or contributing to our exsisting endowment at the Jewish Community Foundation, and creating a charitable gift annuity or charitable remainder trust are just a few of the opportunities that exist.  Gifts of any amount, in cash or property, are welcome and will be greatly appreciated.   

The Council welcomes your inquiry into making donations to our Designated Funds. The funds are carefully monitored for investment and growth. The Council is a non-profit charitable organization under 501(c)(3). All contributions are tax-deductible.

If you are interested in more information about helping the Council For Jews With Special Needs secure the future of its essential programs and services, please contact your estate planning attorney or CJSN staff at (480) 629-5343 or info@cjsn.org.
