Understanding Planned Giving

Planned giving allows you to make a meaningful contribution to Urban Adamah through your estate or financial planning, often at little or no cost during your lifetime.

Planned gifts can provide significant tax advantages and enable you to make a more substantial impact than is often possible through annual gifts.

Our development team is happy to work with you and your advisors to explore the best options for your situation.

The Impact of Your Legacy

Your legacy gift ensures that community building rooted in Jewish values and sustainability continues for generations to come.

By including Urban Adamah in your estate plan, you create lasting impact while potentially receiving significant tax benefits during your lifetime. Just as autumn leaves return to the earth as compost that enriches the soil for spring’s new growth, your planned gift continues the beautiful cycle of renewal and abundance.

Getting Started

Making a planned gift to Urban Adamah is simple and can often be accomplished with a single conversation with your attorney or financial advisor.

Options include:

  • A designation in your IRA* or retirement plan
  • A bequest in your will or trust
  • A life insurance policy

*Those age 70 1⁄2 and older can make gifts directly from their IRAs free of federal income tax without increasing adjusted gross income.
