Give our future a present.

Your lasting legacy gift in your will, trust, retirement account or life insurance policy will help the JCC continue to build connections between generations and sustain our strong community.

We can’t do tomorrow without you. Our tomorrow depends on what we do today.

Our plans, our goals, our dreams...they don’t just happen.

For over 100 extraordinary years, the Mandell Jewish Community Center has been a vital resource that has enriched all aspects of Greater Hartford. By providing the most comprehensive range of services and recreational, cultural, educational and social programs under one roof, the JCC promotes physical, intellectual and spiritual well-being and the betterment of the community.

The role of the JCC is invaluable, with its brilliant past and bright plans for the future. A one-of a-kind location-informed by universal Jewish values and welcoming and open to everyone- the Mandell JCC offers personal growth opportunities, transformative experiences, camaraderie and a connection to community for all. We build cultural identity and bridges of understanding by celebrating diversity and fostering appreciation for Jewish culture and heritage.

If the measure of an organization is the impact that it has on the lives of those it serves, then the JCC's contribution to the community is truly immeasurable.

As a not-for-profit organization, the Mandell JCC depends on your generous support.

We’re all in tomorrow together. With a bequest to the 1915 Legacy Society, you will guarantee that the many vital and meaningful programs our members, friends and neighbors depend on will continue to be here for future generations.

We can’t do tomorrow without you.

Your intention to create a lasting legacy gift will help the JCC continue to build connections between generations and sustain our strong community that has been counted on in so many ways.

The Mandell JCC is part of your life. And you are a part of our future.

Be a part of what’s possible.
