Jewish Ledger
Foundation selected to lead Greater Hartford’s LIFE & LEGACY Initiative
The Jewish Community Foundation of Greater Hartford has been selected to join 69 other Jewish Community Foundations and Jewish Federations in the Harold Grinspoon Foundation’s (HGF) Life & Legacy
program. A nationwide Jewish legacy giving initiative, Life & Legacy has secured more than 28,000 after-lifetime commitments with an estimated value of over a billion dollars for Jewish organizations across North America.
In partnership with HGF and local Jewish organizations, the Foundation will lead a local Life and Legacy community-wide initiative to promote after-lifetime giving to benefit Jewish day schools, synagogues, social service organizations and other Jewish entities. Organizations will participate in a four-year curriculum initiative that provides coaching, training and incentive grants to ensure that legacy giving becomes further integrated in the philanthropic culture of the community.
