Securing our community’s financial future through endowment building and end-of-lifetime giving.
Life & Legacy at Temple Chai: Securing Our Future Together
Life & Legacy is a collaboration between the Center for Jewish Philanthropy and the Harold Grinspoon Foundation. Its goal is to promote after-lifetime giving and create endowments that will support organizations like Temple Chai and ensure our Greater Phoenix will continue to be a vibrant Jewish community for future generations. Temple Chai, along with 20 other local Jewish organizations, is working together to assure Jewish Tomorrows.

How it works:
- Complete a Declaration of Commitment by clicking on the link below—Please consider adding Temple Chai to your estate plans by completing a Declaration of Commitment. If you would like help completing the form, please get in touch with Wendy Cohen.
- For a detailed explanation of legacy gift types, click on the Giving Options page below. You can make a legacy gift from your will/trust, IRA, life insurance or a cash gift. You can also make a lifetime gift of cash at any time.
- Once you decide how to fund your AFTER LIFETIME legacy gift to Temple Chai and by which vehicle, please update your estate documents.
