Partner Organizations

Each Create a Jewish Legacy (CJL) participating organization builds a strong team of professional and lay leaders — usually four to six individuals including the chief professional and chief lay leader of each organization — who commits to participating for two years. Participants attend all CJL sessions and meet program requirements.

At the completion of the program, Atlanta will have over 150 professionals and lay leaders trained in legacy giving, spanning all facets of Jewish identity, including synagogues, camps, day schools and community benefit organizations. Create a Jewish Legacy is a public awareness initiative brought to our community by the Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta and is designed to transform the culture of legacy giving in Atlanta.

Create a Jewish Legacy is an initiative of the Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta to build a strong, vibrant community, now and in the future with bequests for permanent endowments. It promotes the message that all of us, regardless of age, wealth, or affiliation, have the ability to make a difference for future Jewish generations. As the central umbrella organization for Jewish Atlanta, it makes sense for Federation to lead this program on behalf of the entire community.
