Temple Israel relies on the generosity of our members to continue serving the Jewish community.  Honor special moments in the lives of your family and friends with a tribute, and invest in our legacy with your gift.

Endowment

There are many opportunities to assist in expanding Temple Israel’s endowment through a gift of a bequest, trust, or other provision that provides sustained income.  Gifts to the Endowment support Temple’s strong Reform Jewish tradition and outreach to continue for generations. Established endowments allow all members of the congregation and the community who are interested in supporting this mission to do so, regardless of personal income or the ultimate gift amount. 

Planned Giving

Make a lasting impact on Temple Israel with a planned gift. Whether you’d like to support us today or plan a gift to benefit our work for future generations, we have a variety of arrangements available for you to choose from. Let us help you create a charitable plan that provides for your family and supports Temple Israel.
