Ways to Give – Let’s Build the Future Together

You can donate now by using the Kaplen JCC on the Palisades’ secure online donation form. The JCC accepts gifts via MasterCard, Visa, or American Express. You can make a one-time gift or a recurring monthly contribution.

Donations can be made to program areas at the JCC and individual endowment funds in honor of a special occasion such as a wedding or anniversary, a Bar/Bat Mitzvah, the birth of a child, or in memory of loved ones.

The JCC sends notification cards to recipients and publishes the tributes in our agency newspaper, In The Center. The minimum donation for a tribute card is $18.

Endowments are gifts that “keep on giving.” Endowment funds are critical to helping the JCC meet the needs of the community, now and in the future. By creating or adding to an Endowment fund, you can ensure vital JCC programs have stable financial support for generations to come. Only a small amount of your fund’s value is expended each year, so the fund lives on, creating an inspiring Jewish legacy.

Your gift, no matter how big or small, helps us to shape someone’s story and makes a significant difference in our community. Whether you make a designated gift to a program you are passionate about or make a general contribution to the JCC, we hope you will consider joining the I’m In, Are You? Annual Campaign to ensure that our community can continue to thrive, not only today, but for generations to come.

A grant from your donor-advised fund can make a tremendous difference in our JCC community. If you have a donor-advised fund, please contact your financial institution or foundation or call your fund manager to recommend us for a grant. We ask that you please contact 201.569.7900 ext. 607 or development@jccotp.org to inform us of your gift so we can thank you for your generosity.

Gifts of securities — held by you or by your bank or brokerage — offer significant tax advantages and are easy to make. The JCC requires that gifts of securities be made via electronic transfer, rather than mailing actual securities certificates. Please contact 201.569.7900 ext.607 or development@jccotp.org to inform the JCC of the proposed donation and ensure that you receive a prompt receipt of your gift for your tax records. Please use this form to get the process started – Stock & Securities Transfer Form.

You can transfer funds via ACH/bank transfer.  To begin the process, please fill out the following ACH/Wire Transfer Form.

If you have any questions, please reach out at 201.569.7900 ext.607 or development@jccotp.org.

A planned or legacy gift is a tax-smart way to ensure our children and grandchildren continue to enjoy a flourishing Jewish community and a vibrant place to celebrate their heritage. Creating an endowed fund here at the J, making a bequest in your will, or establishing a charitable remainder or lead trust are just a few powerful ways to leave a lasting legacy and ensure the Kaplen JCC continues to thrive for generations to come.

Each sponsorship package is tailored to meet your company’s marketing and promotional objectives while leveraging the array of resources at the Center.

One of the easiest ways to increase your gift to the JCC is through your employer’s matching gift program. You can inquire with your human resources department to learn about your company’s matching gift program.
