The Mandell JCC is one of 50 agencies selected to participate in the first community-wide matching gift campaign in recognition of the vital contributions non-profits make to the quality of life in Greater Hartford.  Gifts to the endowment funds of the participating agencies will receive a 50% match!

 

Endow Hartford 21 is a new matching gift endowment program initiated by the Zachs Family Foundation, and supported by other lead donors, who believe in the nonprofit community across Greater Hartford. It is a 1:2 match that seeks to inspire donors to give generously to support the long-term future of the Mandell Jewish Community Center and the 50 other nonprofit agencies participating in the program.

 

As we all navigated the uncertain times and challenges of Covid this past year, annual support from the community was critical to survival for nonprofit organizations. While annual support remains crucial, as it is every year, we simultaneously recognize the need for organizations to build for our future. This is the moment to build for the future. Thanks to the vision and leadership of the Zachs Family Foundation and the other matching donors, we have an opportunity like no other to begin that journey. We hope you will join us.

 

We need endowments to secure our future. The JCC’s endowment creates a long-term resource that helps sustain our mission now and in the future. Help us to ensure that the JCC remains a one-of-a-kind destination for where community comes together for education, wellness, recreation and culture. 

 

Your gift will be generously matched. For example, a gift of $1,000 will yield a $500 match. Any gift between $250 to $10,000 per participating organization will be matched 1:2 by Endow Hartford 21.

 

The match is available now, but its impact will last forever.
