Planned Giving
We all make decisions during our lifetimes that reflect our values, including what legacy might live beyond our years. Have you considered including Temple Kol Ami in your estate planning? Planned giving is one of the most powerful ways for congregants to acknowledge the importance of their synagogue life. A legacy gift will allow us to continue our commitment to strong Jewish values, education and spiritual growth. A gift from your estate will help ensure the vitality of Temple Kol Ami beyond your lifetime and for generations to come. There are many ways to include Temple Kol Ami in your current and estate financial plans:
Donate Stock
If you donate stock to Temple Kol Ami that you have owned for one year or longer, and the stock is worth more than you originally paid, there can be beneficial tax advantages for you.
Remember Temple Kol Ami in Your Will:
List TKA (or a specific TKA Endowment Fund) as a beneficiary in your will or estate planning.
IRA Distributions:
Consider a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) to Temple Kol Ami to satisfy all or part of your required minimum distribution (RMD) from your IRA.
Use Life Insurance to make a Gift:
We can help you explore options, including naming TKA as a beneficiary for an existing policy, or purchasing a new policy naming TKA as the beneficiary. There are tax advantages for both methods.
Create a Charitable Remainder Trust:
Receive income each year from the Trust that you create with the remaining balance going to Temple Kol Ami after you are gone.
