Planned Giving and Endowment Gifts

Planned giving offers the opportunity to make a gift to Milwaukee Jewish Day School today, but plan when the assets you are giving are actually transferred to the school. Gifts may be made in the form of securities, bonds, retirement funds, bequests, and/or real estate. Your gift, and the income it generates for MJDS becomes a commitment to perpetuating the future vitality of the school for the next generation. 

Endowment funds provide permanent financial support that MJDS can rely on year after year. These funds ensure that MJDS will be able to maintain long-term financial stability, provide tuition assistance, and continue to attract outstanding faculty and staff. Your gift to Milwaukee Jewish Day School Endowment Funds will grow into an enduring legacy for our youth.

There are many ways you can make a contribution to benefit MJDS and at the same time realize significant tax advantages. Present or deferred gifts will make a long-term difference to the viability of MJDS and will also maximize tax and other financial benefits to you. Milwaukee Jewish Day School works hand-in-hand with the Jewish Community Foundation of Milwaukee. Ask your accountant or attorney how you can maximize your tax benefits while ensuring the future for Milwaukee Jewish Day School. 

You may contribute to MJDS endowment funds in a variety of ways: 

• Cash Gifts and Pledges
• Securities
• Gifts-in-Kind
• Bequests
• Gifts of Life Insurance
• Charitable Lead Trust
• Charitable Remainder Trust
• Remainder Interest in Real Property 

For further information about planned giving or to establish a new endowment fund, please contact Elizabeth Neubauer at 414-967-8312 or eneubauer@mjds.org.
