Planned Giving

 


Leave a Legacy That Lifts Generations

Every generation of women stands on the strength of those who came before them. At the Jewish Women’s Foundation of Greater Pittsburgh (JWF), collective philanthropy has empowered bold ideas, amplified voices too often unheard, and created lasting change for women and girls in our community and beyond. Our impact is powerful today—and it must continue.

Women and girls still face persistent challenges, including economic inequality, gender-based violence, and limited access to opportunity. Creating lasting solutions requires generosity now and a commitment to the future.

Why Planned Giving?

Planned giving allows you to extend your impact beyond your lifetime. It is a statement of your values woven permanently into the organization’s work.

A legacy gift to the Jewish Women’s Foundation is more than a financial contribution. It is a declaration that:
•   Women’s voices matter
•   Collective giving is transformative
•   The next generation deserves opportunity, equity, and dignity

By including JWF in your long-term plans, you join a community of women who share these values and a deep commitment to sustaining this work for future generations.

The Strength of Collective Legacy

When legacy gifts come together, their impact grows. Planned giving helps sustain and expand grantmaking, respond to emerging needs, and ensure that women-led philanthropy remains a vital force in our community. Together, these gifts create an enduring engine for change.

Accessible. Personal. Meaningful.

Many planned gifts are simple, such as a bequest in a will or a trust, or by beneficiary designation on a retirement account, annuity, life insurance policy, or POD account. Your gift can reflect your personal values. Every gift, regardless of size, carries lasting meaning.

An Invitation

Legacy giving is an act of leadership. We invite you to leave a legacy that honors the past, acts with purpose today, and helps build a more just future—for generations to come.
