Ways To Give
Your Generosity. Their Lifeline.
Every gift to JCCGCI strengthens lives across Brooklyn. From supporting Holocaust survivors and vulnerable older adults to uplifting families and children, your generosity fuels connection, dignity, and care.
There are many meaningful ways to give — each one creating lasting impact.
Include JCCGCI in Your Will or Trust
Including JCCGCI in your will or living trust is one of the simplest and most powerful ways to make a lasting difference. It can be as easy as adding one sentence — and your gift can always be modified as circumstances change, offering flexibility while ensuring enduring impact. Your legacy gift helps sustain our mission for generations to come.

Retirement / IRA
Naming JCCGCI as a beneficiary of your retirement account or IRA is a simple, meaningful way to support our work. Because these gifts are typically not subject to income tax, your contribution goes further—helping JCCGCI continue to bring connection, dignity, and joy to older adults. To get started, contact your plan administrator or custodian to designate JCCGCI as a beneficiary.
Donor Advised Funds (DAF)
You can create a lasting legacy by naming JCCGCI the beneficiary of your DAF. Designating your Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) to JCCGCI is an effective way to provide ongoing support for our vital work and benefit from potential tax advantages. It’s a simpler way to make a sustaining difference.
Create A Fundraiser
Social isolation and loneliness are an epidemic. JCCGCI helps alleviate the negative effects by providing life-sustaining support and connection to thousands of older adults in Brooklyn. Each of our programs is offered completely free of charge, but our work is only possible through the generosity of our community. Help broaden JCCGCI’s network and further our mission by creating your own fundraiser.
