	The mission of the Endowment Program is to provide for the future prosperity of Temple Adat Elohim.  Through donation, endowment and long term giving, the Endowment Program will assist in providing stability to our temple community for future generations. Creation of the Endowment Program is a serious attempt to put in place funding for future programming at this temple. What kind of programming? Programming that allows our children to go to camp because you want them to have that special experience of community with other Jewish children. Programming that allows us to have special guest speakers and scholars in residence to provide a continued Jewish education experience for our community. Programming that you may create, because you have directed funding for that specific purpose. What does it take to make this a reality? First, consider your own vision for the future of Temple Adat Elohim.  Second, consider the possibility of making your vision a reality. Remember the Endowment Program when you are doing our estate planning, tax planning, or charitable giving. Endowments may be created by bequest through your estate plan, or through “life income gifts” such as charitable gift annuities, which first pay you an income for life.   Temple Adat Elohim will consider paying your legal expenses.  This will be considered on a case by case basis.
