Jewish Reconstructionist Federation

The Jewish Reconstructionist Federation (JRF) would like your congregation to become one of the charter sponsors in the effort to launch the JRF Interactive Planned Giving Website this fall. We need seven congregational Charter Sponsors to launch this endeavor.

JRF in partnership with congregations across North America will debut jrfplannedgiving.org. The information below is being sent to all congregations within the movement interested in taking advantage of this exciting opportunity to become sponsors of the JRF Interactive Planned Giving Website.

Features of the Planned Giving Website
• Create Your Own Confidential Planned Giving Illustration;
• Advertise Your Donor Stories, highlighting planned giving donors from your congregation;
• Provide eNewsletters about current developments in the planned giving arena to lay leaders and professionals.

Premiere Charter Sponsors - TAKEN
• The planned giving website offers only 3 Premiere Charter sponsorship logo links. Each of these sponsorships is hyperlinked directly to the congregation’s website.
• Cost is $750 annually (only a single year commitment is required).
• One Donor Story will be made available to Premiere Charter Sponsors on the site throughout the year, enabling the congregation to recognize various planned giving stories from their community (includes photo).

Charter Sponsors
• Congregations that are Charter Sponsors will be directly linked from the JRF Development webpage.
• Cost is $500 annually (only a single year commitment is required).
• One Donor Story will be made available to Charter Sponsors on the site for a minimum of 3 months, enabling the congregation to recognize various planned giving stories from their community (includes photo).

Please note: Charter Sponsors will receive a free upgrade to a minimum of One Donor Story slot for 12 months, if they become a Charter Sponsor by August 31st. After August 31, 2007, upgrade for $250 for an additional 3 months or $500 for the full year.

Partnering with JRF

Please consider having your congregation become a Charter Sponsor today. Once you take a look at the JRF Interactive Planned Giving Website (still in development), you will instantly see the value of this very modest investment in promoting a wonderful vehicle to leave a legacy to your congregation and/or the movement.

Become a Sponsor by October 1, 2007 and as an added benefit
Your Congregation will also receive:

• A 50% discount, a cost of 50 cents per card, on the forthcoming Educational Planned Giving Postcard Series. Each card in the series will feature a photo of your congregation, its logo, and a contact listing. (For non-sponsors, the cost is $1.00 per card.)

• For purposes of cost effectiveness, each card can be shared by a group of congregations interested in promoting planned giving in a region. (There are four full-color postcards in the series.) Minimum group printing is 1,000 sets. The cost includes all postage and handling.

• Each card comes with a complimentary matching ad, suitable for inclusion in congregation newsletters or flyers.

Please note: In order for production to commence, three postcard series, composed of a minimum of 1,000 cards each, must be ordered. All cards must be produced at one time. Postcards will be mailed centrally on a quarterly basis after scheduled production in November 2007. Congregations may request cards for distribution purposes to be used, for example, on congregation display tables. Deadline for orders is October 19, 2007.
