WAYS TO GIVE

Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel wrote: "In this hour we, the living, are the people of Israel. The tasks begun by our ancestors and prophets and continued by their descendants are now entrusted to us. We are either the last Jews or those who will hand over the entire past to generations to come. We will either forfeit or enrich the legacy of ages." That's why we support the TBS Foundation.

—David Miller and Sherry Thompson

The Foundation gratefully accepts gifts of any size towards its goal of building the endowment to $3 million.

How to remember TBS Foundation in your will

​

Leaving a gift for the TBS Foundation in
your will is as easy as this sentence:

​

I give to the Temple Beth Shalom Foundation, a nonprofit charitable and religious corporation located in Santa Fe, New Mexico, _________________ (insert a dollar amount, percentage [%] of estate, or a description of the property to bequeath) for its general purposes.

​

You can also add a codicil to a completed will to include the TBS Foundation. (Doing this requires a notary to certify the signatures of two witnesses. Contact your attorney for details.)

​

The Foundation also accepts gifts of stock.

​

The Foundation can direct you to advisors with expertise in more complex planned gifts. For more information, contact Foundation President Dan Yohalem at 505-983-9433, Ralph Scheuer at 505-982-9911, or Aaron Wolf at 505-988-4476.
