The Foundation of the Jewish Federation of Greater Rochester was selected by the Harold Grinspoon Foundation as one of only nine new organizations to participate in a national Jewish legacy giving program that has secured an estimated value of over a half-billion dollars for communities across North America.
LIFE & LEGACYTM is a collaborative program that helps individuals and families create legacy gifts for Jewish causes they care about, providing a permanent source of support for our community. Chaired in Rochester by Leslie Crane and Don Onimus, the program is founded on the principle that all of us, regardless of age, wealth or affiliation, can make an enduring impact. The Foundation administers the program in partnership with 16 local synagogues and organizations in Jewish Rochester, which receive training and incentive grants from the Harold Grinspoon Foundation.
We specifically acknowledge, with our thanks, the following donors who have chosen to honor the Federation as a beneficiary in their LIFE & LEGACY commitments as of 10.14.21:
