Make a Planned Gift and become part of The Emanu-El Society

A planned gift is a charitable gift that you decide to make as part of your philanthropic or estate plans. In addition to benefitting Temple Emanu-El of Palm Beach, a planned gift can benefit you and loved ones. It also stands as a lasting reminder to your children and succeeding generations of the values that are most important to you.

Planned giving offers various giving vehicles. If you give during your lifetime, you may receive charitable income tax deductions. You can also create a fund to honor or remember a loved one, perpetuating your family name long beyond your lifetime.

You designate how your gift is to be used: to provide unrestricted funds to help meet community needs now and in the future, or to provide permanent resources to aid identified initiatives that are of particular interest to you and your family. It’s up to you.
