Now is a great time to encourage grandparents to support Jewish day schools.
Thanks to recent federal tax legislation, grandparents throughout the country may be able to use their IRA to make gifts to any day school of their choosing, or establish endowment funds at local federations to benefit day schools. And schools have a unique opportunity to connect with their students' grandparents to raise awareness about the benefits of using retirement assets to support Jewish education.
PEJE is collaborating with UJC (United Jewish Communities) to help Jewish day schools take full advantage of this limited time opportunity. By teaming federation expertise addressing complex tax issues with day school's personal connections to their students' grandparents, we can take advantage of the legislation to strengthen day schools.
