Support the JCC

Monthly donations provide reliable support for continued childcare, education, inclusion and a variety of much needed programs for our community.

To commemorate special occasions and lifecycle events, or to honour the memory of a loved one, the Schenectady JCC welcomes tax-deductible gifts to the Annual Fund or one of the Center’s many excellent programs. A tribute card is sent in your name to the person you are honouring or, in the case of a memorial gift, to the family or whomever you indicate when you make your gift. We will send a formal acknowledgement letter to you as well.

The  Schenectady Jewish Community Center is a partner in the Life & Legacy Program of the Harold Grinspoon Foundation, coordinated by the Jewish Federation of Northeastern New York. Life & Legacy assures Jewish tomorrows with training and incentives to build endowments for Jewish organizations, ensuring a bright and sustainable future for our community.  

As a member of the SJCC you support our community in a variety of ways, but have you thought to include us in your will or estate plan? By leaving a legacy, you can assure that the connection you feel for the Schenectady JCC will exist for future generations.  

For more information, please contact Director of Development, Joslyn McArdle at j.mcardle@jccsofthecapitalregion.org

Donating appreciated stocks, mutual funds or stock options means you pay no tax on the capital gains and receive a tax receipt for the fair market value of the securities. This alternative to making a cash donation gives you the opportunity to see your gift put to use today.

Many businesses and organizations support the charitable efforts of their employees and members by matching their philanthropic gifts. Check with your human resources department to determine whether your workplace offers matching of gifts.
