In 2011, The Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles celebrates its 100th anniversary. To mark this historic milestone, we have launched the Centennial Endowment
Fund, consisting of gifts of one million dollars and more, to ensure that our community is in good hands for the next 100 years and beyond.

Every act of generosity has the power to do great good. When you endow your gift, your good intentions are multiplied because, like a seed, an endowment has the power to grow. Once the seed is planted, an endowment takes on a life of its own, creating a legacy with the power to touch the lives of those you want to help in perpetuity. That means that when your work is done, your gift will live on . . . forever.

We invite you to join the leaders of our community in celebrating a century of tzedakah by making a bold new investment for our Jewish future through the Centennial Endowment Fund.

MAKE A LASTING DIFFERENCE THROUGH THE CENTENNIAL ENDOWMENT FUND

Your endowment gift will support the Federation’s Annual Campaign in perpetuity, ensuring our Jewish future in important ways every day:

• Sustaining a strong connection to the people of Israel
• Strengthening Jewish identity through education
• Developing future leaders of our community
• Strengthening relationships with the diverse communities of Los Angeles
• Serving the vulnerable

Recognition
Recognition for your endowed gift will take many forms, including an inscription in a place of honor at the Federation Goldsmith Center at 6505 Wilshire, prominent listings in Federation publications and commemorative materials, and on our website – www.JewishLA.org, as well as special acknowledgement at Federation events. The recognition of your most generous legacy gift will honor your family, set an inspiring example for the community, and make a lasting difference for those you wish to help.
