You support Hillel of San Diego year after year, because you care about equipping today’s Jewish college students to be the leaders of tomorrow’s Jewish community. You want to ensure that Hillel will always be there to help shape their lives at this formative time through meaningful engagement.
There are multiple estate planning vehicles you can use for a legacy gift, such as a bequest in your will or trust or simply designating Hillel as a beneficiary in your IRA. No matter which plan you make, the most important thing is not to wait. Today is the best time to start making these plans.
To inspire you, some of Hillel of San Diego’s Legacy Society members have shared their answers to this question on this page.
Hillel of San Diego’s professional and volunteer team is available at any time to have a heartfelt conversation with you and your family about the legacy you wish to leave and the role that Hillel of San Diego can play in fulfilling your vision. Please contact Lisa Kalal, Director of Development, at lkalal@hillelsd.org to learn more.
Hillel of San Diego has been a proud participant in the Jewish Community Foundation of San Diego’s Create a Jewish Legacy Program since 2004.

When you are ready, you can print, complete and return this form to us so that we can document your intentions. We are delighted to welcome you as a new Legacy Society member.
There are many estate planning vehicles available, but the two easiest and most common are the bequest and retirement plan beneficiary designation. Both are options available to anyone at any age.
A bequest is among the most common ways to make a legacy gift. In your will or trust, include the following information:
“My executor/trustee shall distribute X
to Hillel of San Diego (EIN 33-0519225).”
The X can be:
Donating part or all of your unused retirement assets, such as your IRA, 401(k), 403(b), pension, or other tax-deferred plan, is an excellent way to help Hillel of San Diego.
To leave your retirement assets to Hillel of San Diego, you will need to complete a beneficiary designation form provided by your retirement plan custodian. You can list Hillel of San Diego (EIN 33-0519225) as a beneficiary.
If you designate Hillel as beneficiary, we will benefit from the full value of your gift because your IRA assets will not be taxed at your death. Talk to your financial advisor about how your estate may benefit from an estate tax charitable deduction for the gift.
For information about other estate planning vehicles, please contact your financial advisor or schedule an appointment with our partners at the San Diego Jewish Community Foundation.
We acknowledge with gratitude all Legacy Society members for their generosity and foresight.
