Thinking about your year-end strategies for charitable giving?
There are several strategies that will ensure that your dollars are directed to the Federation or one of our programs you care passionately about, while providing you potential tax savings. Before embarking on any of these strategies, please consult your accountant and your financial advisor.
Your contribution to the annual campaign is the gift that does it all. Through our network of partners and effective programs, we address the full range of community needs with compassion and foresight, today and into the future. You can use personal or business checks (dated 12/31/2022 or prior), credit card, or give online at shalomct.org.
Making your annual campaign gift via charitable stock contributions enables you to deduct the full market value of the stock that you are donating, without paying capital gains tax. If you are 70-1/2 or older, you may use your IRA distribution and designate the Jewish Federation as a recipient of your charitable contributions up to $100,000.
If you have a Donor Advised Fund, you may designate the Jewish Federation as a recipient of your allocations. With a charitable gift annuity, you will receive a safe and stable income stream for the rest of your life (and the life of another person, if you choose), while securing the financial future of the Jewish Federation of Greater Fairfield County.
If you are interested in leaving a lifelong legacy in the community, reach out to Carin for more information on starting a new endowment fund or supporting an existing one, enabling our programming to continue for many years to come.
You can make a contribution in memory or honor of a loved one, to send well wishes, honor a special occasion, or recognize the care that a family member received. When a tribute gift is made, the amount is kept confidential. A card acknowledging the gift will be sent to whomever the donor wishes.

Did you know that you can become a sustaining donor? By making a recurring monthly donation, you make a lasting commitment to the Federation. It's a great way to help ensure the stability and effectiveness of all Federation programs and initiatives. Contact Janet for more information.
As 2022 comes to a close, we want to thank you for all your Federation support this year. Your donations helped us help our community- here and around the world.
FEDERATION. HERE FOR YOU. HERE FOR GOOD.
