Members like you who want to ensure that our exceptional community endures long into the future often formalize their commitment to making a future gift to Temple Emanuel through planned giving. They
are connected with each other in a common cause:
to ensure the long term vitality and stability of our congregation so that Temple Emanuel will be here to support our community and instill our values. Anyone who indicates a planned gift demonstrates to themselves and others that we too want to be there for the generations that follow us.
As you think about your financial plans for the future, please think about how Temple Emanuel has enriched your life. Perhaps …
● Watching your children or grandchildren as our newest teachers of Torah
● Celebrating weekly Shabbat and holidays together
● Finding comfort with clergy and friends
● Supporting our wider community
● Travels with fellow congregants
● Deepening your own learning
● Advocating for equal rights
These meaningful experiences happen at Temple Emanuel. By remembering Temple Emanuel in your will or estate plan, we will continue. Planning a charitable gift is a wonderful way to express gratitude for Temple Emanuel and support its mission while achieving your own personal, financial, and altruistic goals. By planning ahead, you may be able to increase the impact of your gift to better serve future needs. This is a meaningful way to leave a permanent legacy connecting you and your family to Temple Emanuel.
Bequests may take many forms – a specific dollar amount, a portion of one’s remaining assets after all obligations are met, specific assets, remaining retirement account assets, or benefits from an individual retirement account or life insurance policy.
Please contact our Executive Director Dianne Neiman with any questions about Planned Giving.
