The JCC plays a vital role in our community, providing wellness programs, child care and after school programs, summer camps, senior activities, outdoor fun and much more for everyone in Schenectady, Saratoga and Albany Counties. To provide these programs and to support our continuous efforts to improve our offerings and facilities, we need your help. Many people do not realize that income from membership dues is not enough to support the excellent programming we enjoy, to enhance and maintain the building we love, and to serve the community. Your support -- at any level -- helps us to continue to provide the exciting programs, events and services you have come to expect from your JCC. Whether you want to make a one-time gift, endow a program or event, honor someone special, or make a gift that your employer will match, you can help honor the past, provide for the present, and build for the future. As we celebrate 100 years of service to our community, please consider supporting the Schenectady JCC. For more information on giving opportunities at the JCC, contact Campus Director Andy Katz at (518) 377-8803 or andrewk@schenectadyjcc.org. |

MAKING A COMMITMENT TO THE JCC’S FUTURELEGACY GIVINGSince 1921, the Schenectady JCC has touched the lives of thousands of people with its mission-driven programs. We urge you to envision a place where generation after generation will come together to remember our rich history, to change lives, and to enhance the quality of life in the area; where bright futures will always be cherished and nourished. Envision the enduring presence of a vibrant JCC. Let us show you how you can make a difference. Make a commitment to keeping the doors of the JCC open for future generations. There are ways to support the Schenectady JCC that don't affect your current lifestyle or your family's security. Leaving a LIFE & LEGACY™ Gift to the Schenectady JCCCurrent gifts of cash are vital to our success, but donors also can support the JCC by making a planned gift - leaving a legacy. Legacy giving, planned with the assistance of a qualified professional advisor, can provide immediate benefits - tax savings and additional income - and will give you the satisfaction of knowing that your personal philanthropic goals will be met, and that you are helping ensure that the JCC will maintain its place in our community for years and years. You can make a gift that costs you nothing during your lifetime. You can also make a gift that leaves your cash flow and current financial planning unchanged. LIFE & LEGACY™ is a 4-year partnership program of the Harold Grinspoon Foundation (HGF) that assists communities across North America, through partnership 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 in order to ensure vibrant Jewish life for future generations. Gifts Anyone Can Afford:
