The Jewish Community Foundation was established in 1996 to encourage planned giving to build endowments for the Durham-Chapel Hill Jewish community. Planned giving can be a significant tax and estate planning benefit to you and your heirs, while at the same time enriching your life with meaning and the lives of those your gift touches with care, comfort and compassion. Planned giving is a way to continue the good you do in your lifetime, ensuring that it lives forever. Learn more
