Ways to Give to the JCCNV

Thanks in great part to our members, community and friends, the Center has been able to continue its commitment to this community to provide a comfortable atmosphere rich in Jewish family traditions. We encourage you to think about the Center when making your charitable giving plans. Your contribution will enable the Center to offer a variety of high quality programs and services throughout the year. There are many ways to make a gift to the Center. Here are some of the ways you can help:

Become a Member of the Chai Society and/or Trustee Circle
The cornerstone of the Center's ability to build a strong community based on Jewish values is the Trustee Circle whose donors give a minimum cash gift of $3,000 or more annually. This special visionary group of leaders understands the importance of the JCCNV to our Jewish community, and the fact that none of our extraordinary programs would be possible without a financially sound operation.  

JCCNV Chai Society members are demonstrating their understandig that the life of the JCCNV depends on our ability to financially support our general operations in addition to programmatic support. The Chai Society recognizes this special group of donors who give at least $1,800 to our General Operating Fund, allowing us to utilize the funds to best meet the needs of the Center.    

To augment their general operating support, many members of the Chai Society choose contribute supplementary dollars to the programs about which they are most passionate. Chair Society members are also named as Trustee Circle members when their contributions equal or exceed $3,000 annually.  
To learn more, contact Jeff Dannick, JCCNV Executive Director at (703) 537-3023.

Give Cash.
Cash gifts allow the Center to use funds where they are most urgently needed. You may also designate your gift for a specific purpose, or you may make it in honor or memory of a person or an occasion through the tribute program. A special card will be sent to recognize your tribute gift.

Transfer Appreciated Assets.

Stocks or other investments that have been held for more than one year and have grown in value can provide a substantial gift to the Center at a low net cost to you. The full value of your appreciated asset is deductible.

Give Insurance/IRAs/Retirement Funds.
If you no longer need a life insurance policy, IRA or other retirement fund, consider giving it to the Center. Even if you are still paying premiums on an insurance policy, it can be given to the Center; you may take an income tax deduction when the Center is named owner and beneficiary. Alternately, you may choose to set up a new life insurance policy naming the JCC of Northern Virginia as beneficiary - ensuring support for the Center in the future.
