Jewish Legacy

DJCF is proud to partner with Jewish Future Promise, a visionary global initiative dedicated to preserving and enriching Jewish heritage for generations to come. The Promise asks Jews and allies alike to make a moral, non-binding commitment that if any charitable contributions are made upon passing, at least half of those charitable contributions, whether it be $10 or $10 million, will support Jewish causes and/or the State of Israel.

Together, DJCF and Jewish Future Promise will advance a shared vision and commitment to secure a vibrant Jewish future, sparking critical intergenerational conversations about Jewish values and proliferating a culture of legacy giving.

Right now, there is an unprecedented opportunity to secure the funds necessary for a vibrant Jewish future. Over the next 25 years, a mind-boggling $68 trillion will transfer to the next generation, with $6.3 trillion allocated to charity. We estimate that 20 percent of this allocation or 1.26 trillion charitable dollars will be given from Jewish donors.

By signing the Jewish Future Promise, you can help ensure that more than $600 billion is set aside for Jewish causes when wealth is transferred from this generation to the next.

Making the promise is an opportunity to talk to your family and friends about the values you hope to leave behind, and why the Jewish future matters to you.
