Life & Legacy

life & legacy

In the spring of 2017, Temple Sinai joined forces with 10 area Jewish organizations in the Life and Legacy™ program of the Harold Grinspoon Foundation.  This is a 4-year partnership program in conjunction with the Jewish Federation that provides training, support and incentives to promote after-lifetime giving.  At Temple Sinai, we have dovetailed the Life and Legacy ™ program with pre-existing Rabbi Geoffrey Huntting Endowment Fund, consolidating our efforts to provide a secure Jewish home for generations to come.

As of mid- year, 2019, nationally the Life and Legacy ™ program has touched 58 communities with 629 partnering organizations.  Almost $928 million dollars of future gifts have been secured for the Jewish community with 25,000+ legacy commitments.  The Harold Grinspoon Foundation has committed $30 million dollars over 10 years to the success of this initiative.

We are thrilled that the Sarasota-Manatee community was selected to be a part of this opportunity and that Temple Sinai was accepted as a local partner.  Longtime Temple Sinai member, Gisele Pintchuck is the liaison at Federation linking our community and the Foundation.

Collectively, by year end 2019, the Sarasota/Manatee organizations had secured over 600 Letters of Intent with an estimated value of over $18 million dollars.  You too can be remembered forever at Temple Sinai with a gift from your will, trust, retirement account or life insurance policy.
