Create a Legacy Through Planned Giving
Jewish Community Foundation
Planned giving helps you maximize your assets, reduce taxes, and make larger charitable gifts than you might expect. Some gifts provide income during your lifetime, while others let you continue using assets even after donating. Working with your advisors, we help you support the causes you care about while optimizing your financial and estate planning.

Mitch serves as the Executive Director of the Jewish Community Foundation, where he helps donors, fundholders and community members to make their philanthropic dreams come to life through planned giving and endowments. He can assist community members to make their philanthropic giving more convenient and potentially tax advantageous through Donor Advised Funds, and works with them to create permanent endowment funds that can forever support the organizations and programs that are most meaningful to them, including permanent support for MJF’s annual campaign. Mitch also works with community organizations to aid them in establishing and growing endowment funds that both showcase and form the foundation for the organizations’ permanence and strength.
As a former voracious community volunteer for nearly 30 years before joining the Foundation, Mitch uses his extensive community knowledge, his legal background, and his Chartered Advisor in Philanthropy (CAP®) training to help guide community members in reaching their philanthropic goals.
