Naming Opportunities and Capital Projects

Naming Opportunities and Capital Projects, also known as Continuum Gifts, are major gift commitments that support Jewish life for our community and for future generations. Continuum gifts give you the opportunity to fund a program close to your heart and help carry that program into the future. Continuum gifts support a broad range of Jewish Federation programs and/or capital projects in Chicago, Israel, and in Jewish communities around the world.

Donor Benefits

• Underwrite a project of special merit and commemorate your family name or the name of a specific individual in perpetuity.
• Name a building or fund a portion of a building and leave a permanent legacy that benefits the Jewish community.

A capital gift allows you to leave a permanent legacy by naming a building or a portion of it. Capital gift opportunities are currently available all over the Chicago area, including:

• The Margie K. and Louis N. Cohen Center For Jewish Life at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
• Lake County Jewish Community Campus: JCC Elaine Frank Apachi Day Camp
• New Headquarters Fund for JUF/Jewish Federation

Continuum gifts are major commitments that are made in addition to one's annual gift to the Jewish United Fund-Israel Fund Campaign. To learn more about these innovative funding opportunities, please contact us at (312) 444-2827 or legacy@juf.org.
