With a UJA Legacy Gift, you can endow your gift to United Jewish Appeal’s Campaign and guarantee future support for critical programs and services in the Jewish community.
A UJA Legacy Gift at the Jewish Foundation of Greater Toronto is a permanent fund dedicated to ensuring that your gift to United Jewish Appeal’s Campaign continues forever.
The amount required to endow your campaign gift is calculated by multiplying your current gift by twenty-five. For example, if your campaign gift is $1,000 the amount required to permanently endow is $25,000. As an alternative, you may endow a portion of your gift by establishing a UJA Legacy Gift with a lesser amount and then, if desired, build up through subsequent contributions.
