Calgary’s Life & Legacy program marked its sixth anniversary! With an estimated $19 million in future gifts and 681 Letters of Intent, the long-term strength and vibrancy of our community are more secure than ever. Even more exciting, all Calgary partner organizations have now come together to form the newly established Life & Legacy Council. This collaborative effort will focus on sparking more conversations about legacy giving, educating and inspiring our community, and creating meaningful, lasting stewardship opportunities. Together, we are building a legacy of generosity that will benefit generations to come.
What is LIFE & LEGACY?
LIFE & LEGACY is a four-year partnership program of the HGF that assists communities across North America, through partnerships with Jewish Federations and Foundations, to promote after-lifetime giving to benefit local Jewish day schools, synagogues, social service organizations and other Jewish entities. Through training, support and monetary incentives LIFE & LEGACY motivates Jewish organizations to secure legacy gifts, steward donors and integrate legacy giving into the philanthropic culture of the Jewish community.
What are the specifics of LIFE & LEGACY?
The vision of the program is that generous and forward-thinking members of the community will have an opportunity to express their passion, purpose and commitment to the future of our most valued Jewish organizations.
