Legacy Society

The Legacy Society of the Jewish Community Foundation of Greater Philadelphia honors individuals and families who have made planned gifts of $100,000 or more.

Gifts can benefit the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia and/or any local, national, or international Jewish organization. Legacy Society levels are named after the historic gates of Jerusalem, symbols of permanence and faith in the global Jewish community.
