endowment funds

Establishing a named endowment fund at the Minnesota JCC helps strengthen our community into the future. Endowment funds help provide funding for the Minnesota JCC and its programs or services in perpetuity. Many donors establish endowment funds to honor the memory of a loved one; others choose to establish an endowment during their lifetime so that they can see the results of their generosity.

A named endowment fund can be created with a gift at a minimum of $10,000.

An Endowment Fund:

  • Supports the donor’s interests over many generations
  • Creates a legacy that supports the mission of the JCC in perpetuity
  • Provides a stable source of revenue for the JCC
  • Makes the JCC accessible to more people by providing financial assistance and supplementing program fees

To discuss creating an Endowment Fund, contact Jennifer Hladik, Chief Advancement Officer

The Minnesota JCC is a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization and contributions are tax deductible to the full extent of the law.
Federal Tax ID Number is 41-0833543.
