Your Legacy Can:

  • Lift up seniors in vulnerable populations
  • Support families with special needs
  • Rescue Jews in crisis zones
  • Respond to emergencies here and abroad
  • Make Jewish life exciting, affordable, and accessible

What matters most to you?
What mark do you want to leave on the world?

Creating a legacy is a powerful way to reflect your values, spark conversations with your family, and strengthen Jewish life, now and forever.

Make It Personal
Through wills, trusts, donor-advised funds, or life insurance, you can build a legacy that fits your lifestyle and supports the future of Broward’s Jewish community. With over $200 million under management, the Foundation ensures your gift makes a lasting difference.

Now’s the time. Be remembered for what matters. Help us build a vibrant Jewish future.

Donor Advised Funds (DAFs) offer a meaningful way for individuals and families to support the causes they care about - with flexibility, purpose, and trusted guidance. In 2025, the Jewish Federation of Broward County facilitated $6.8 million in Donor Advised Fund grants to the following 300+ charitable organizations across the globe. 80% of those dollars supported Jewish causes - locally, nationally, and in Israel - fueling innovation, meeting urgent needs, and sustaining our most cherished institutions.
