Creating your own Jewish legacy ensures that the values and organizations you hold dear will continue when you are no longer here. It also serves as an inspiring example to your loved ones, demonstrating your belief in the importance of Jewish community. The act of leaving a legacy to American Friends of Kiev and Untied Jewish Communities of Eastern Europe and Asia directly or through your local Jewish federation in support of the American Friends of Kiev and Untied Jewish Communities of Eastern Europe and Asia empowers you to complete the work of your heart while supporting an organization that is important to you.

A legacy gift is your way to leave financial resources to insure the future sustainability of the American Friends of Kiev and Untied Jewish Communities of Eastern Europe and Asia’s vitally important work, from generation to generation. Your legacy can be structured to fit your lifestyle, goals, family and financial needs.

A planned gift can possibly:

o    Provide income for your lifetime, or for a period of years

o    Lower or eliminate capital gains on contributions of appreciated assets

o    Generate substantial federal income tax deductions

o    Reduce or eliminate federal estate taxes

o    Complement retirement planning

o    Work to your advantage in family business planning

o    Enable donors to maximize their support of our programs

o    Enable you to support American Friends of Kiev/UJCEEA and your local Jewish community    
     simultaneously.
