Planned Giving & Endowment

We are so pleased that you are interested in exploring the many opportunities that legacy giving can provide.

L'Chaim Society Membership in the L'Chaim Society is offered to any donor who has made a legacy or outright gift to Friends of Yemin Orde endowment fund. The name L'Chaim has, of course multiple meanings. It honors Chaim Peri, the remarkable educational visionary. It is also the traditional exclamation of celebration. The names of those who make an endowment gift will be celebrated with an inscription on the L'Chaim Society Wall of Honor at the Village. Learn more about the L'Chaim Society.

Charitable Bequest
As you engage in your estate planning, please remember the children of Yemin Orde Youth Village. A charitable bequest to Yemin Orde can be as simple as a sentence or two in the body of your will, and will ensure your legacy to support the Village and its children long after your lifetime. (If needed, view sample language.) 

Life Insurance
If you would like to generate a large gift to Yemin Orde from a relatively small donation, please consider gifting an existing life insurance policy OR purchasing a new policy in support of the Village. A gift of life insurance can give you the ability to make a substantially larger gift than might be possible during your lifetime.  

All planned gifts to Yemin Orde are added to the Endowment Fund and may be designated to support a specific program of your choice.
