Legacy Giving

A legacy gift, also called a planned gift or bequest, is a gift of cash, securities, or life insurance from your estate to Temple Sinai Brookline.

It enables you to create a legacy and put your values to work for future generations with:

• no outlay of funds up front;
• control of your assets throughout your lifetime;
• the option to modify or change your bequest if circumstances change; and
• exemption from federal estate taxes as laws permit.

Your bequest could be for virtually any amount and could be open ended, so Temple Sinai could use it as needs and opportunities arise; alternatively, you could establish or contribute to an area or activity that you care deeply about. Temple Sinai prudently invests bequests to maintain and increase principal over time, generating income that will be used to support our mission far into the future.

Our goal is to grow our endowment funds so that the income generated will allow us to continue putting our values into action and keep membership accessible for everyone in our community. Legacy donors will be recognized periodically during special events and (with their permission) will be listed in Sinai publications.
