Create a Jewish Legacy is a community public awareness campaign designed to help individuals and families support the Jewish causes they care about; building a strong, vibrant community, now and in the future with bequests for permanent endowments. The program promotes the message that all of us have the ability to make a difference in the lives of future Jewish generations.

The Legacy Institute is a unique, results-oriented program in which the Richmond Jewish Foundation and the Jewish Community Federation of Richmond are partnering with ten other Jewish agencies, schools, museums, and synagogues to establish bequests and other estate gifts for our community. Each participating organization is receiving a focused course of study including group training sessions, individual coaching, and marketing support over three years.

Create a Jewish Legacy is funded by the Richmond Jewish Foundation and the Jewish Community Federation of Richmond. It is a United Jewish Communities pilot program.
