Welcome to the Oregon Jewish Community Foundation Gift Planning Site!

"I did not find the world desolate when I entered it. And as my parents planted for me before I was born, so do I plant for those who will come after me." -- Talmud

Thank you for your interest in the Oregon Jewish Community Foundation! We are here to help you learn more about how you can help secure a strong future for Oregon's vibrant Jewish community. You'll discover lots of useful information and resources here. You can explore different ways to approach charitable giving and family philanthropy.

One way we can help you is by providing you with a Wills and Trust Planning Guide to help you protect your family and your estate. Please call us at (503) 248-9328 to request this Guide. You can also view the Wills Guide videos in our website, too, just click below.

Benefits For Family and the Oregon Jewish Community Foundation

There are several types of plans. Many of these have wonderful benefits for the gift donors. Many of these families have enjoyed increased income and generous tax savings. You might start by meeting these friends. Just click on the picture and you can view each story.

Bequests for Scholarships
Joe and Anna have also been faithful supporters of Oregon Colleges over the years. They have visited local campuses many times and have fond memories of those visits. Both of them strongly believe that it is important to support and encourage young people. More on Bequests for Scholarships >>.

The Retirement Unitrust
Mary Friendly grew up on a farm in Washington County. When her parents passed away, she inherited the farm. When Mary was growing up, the farm was out in the country. The city now has grown until the farm is now within the city limits. Several developers would like to build homes on the farmland. More on The Retirement Unitrust >>.

Part Gift and Part Sale
Sue and Jim Wilson bought their first home many years ago. As they were landscaping in the yard, painting and fixing up that home, Jim was impressed with the home improvement store. More on Part Gift and Part Sale >>.

Current Gifts
As is the case with many families, there are times each year when Jim and Sharon focus their attention on gift giving. For years, they have created a gift list that includes family members, friends and loved ones. More on Current Gifts >>.
