5 Tribute/Mitzvah Donations A great way to honor or recognize a family member, friend or loved one during a time of joy or time of sorrow. Donations can be made to the General Endowment Fund or to a Named Fund (established by a donor for a specific purpose). List of funds can be found on the JFCS website as well as in the Directions newsletter. Fund booklets and donation envelopes are available at the JFCS office at any time or we can mail a supply to you. A beautiful card is sent to the recipient acknowledging that a gift has been made in their honor. In 2014 nearly 6,000 cards were sent out from JFCS and nearly $150,000 contributed to the funds.
