How to do better for yourself and your family, for your colleagues, and for your Jewish community. At OJCF, we are working hard to serve you better in our complex and changing world.
Even in challenging financial times, there is gift or gift plan that can help you experience the joy of an important charitable gift -- one that supports your passion for Jewish life and provides you with financial and tax advantages.
Use our website as a source of information on changing gift and estate tax exemptions, charitable extenders and options on the IRA rollover. You'll discover lots of useful information and resources as you review your estate plans and consider what gifts you might make -- from gifts of cash and stock, to IRA Rollover gifts, Charitable Gift Annuities, Wills and Trusts, and more.
Another area to consider as part of your estate is your legacy -- how you wish to be remembered and how to prepare your estate in order to accomplish all of your wishes. We offer a complimentary OJCF Wills and Trust Planning Guide to help you in this process. Please call us at (503) 248-9328 to request the Guide. You can also view the Wills Guide videos in our website, too, just click below.
We can assist you, in concert your professional advisors, in all of these areas.
Thank you for taking the time to learn about OJCF and gift planning. We look forward to hearing from you and working with you to make 2010 an exciting year for giving!
