Endowment Gifts: A Legacy That Lasts
Endowment gifts are a powerful way to ensure that Temple Emanu-El will remain vibrant for generations to come. Your gift allows us to care for our community today and in the future.
What Is an Endowment?
An endowment is a permanent fund that is invested with professional oversight. Each year a portion of the earnings is used to support the critical daily functions of the Temple while the principal remains intact. This means that your generosity provides support, year after year, far into the future.
Management of Funds
Endowment funds are managed with the long-term health of the Temple in mind, guided by professional oversight and strong lay leadership. This ensures that your generosity provides both stability and strength for future generations.
Why Endowment Matters
Endowment gifts sustain the heart of Temple Emanu-El: inspiring worship, extraordinary music, lifelong learning, community outreach, and the spiritual leadership of our clergy. The endowment allows us to respond where the need is greatest, to innovate when opportunities emerge, and to provide financial security no matter what challenges arise.

Your Legacy Is Our Future
An endowment gift is more than financial support—it is a promise that the spirit of Temple Emanu-El will endure for your children, grandchildren, and the generations still to come.
We would be honored to have a confidential conversation with you about how you can make a lasting impact through an endowment gift.
