Our Donors to the Annual Fund

As a nonprofit organization, the Jewish Home of San Francisco relies on community generosity to maintain the high standard of its care and services.

Contributions to the Jewish Home’s Annual Fund fuel the heart and soul of our community’s promise to honor our mothers, fathers and elders, and responds to one of the basic tenets of Judaism, tzedakah or righteous giving.

Your contribution to the Annual Fund helps us provide our residents with the highest quality medical care through our on-site clinics; nurtures their spiritual needs; and supports our creative arts, music concerts, nutritional services, and lifestyle-enhancing programs.

We are home to approximately 400 deserving individuals, each with their own significant life stories. But they all have one thing in common: they have reached a time when they need care, which our remarkable staff provides consistently and compassionately, whenever and wherever it is needed.

With your meaningful support, the Jewish Home will remain that special place our community has known and trusted for seven generations. A home that provides each and every one of our residents with what they so richly deserve – the best in loving care and the utmost in human dignity.

Your tax-deductible gift to the Jewish Home shows how much you care. It is also truly g’milut chasadim, an act of loving kindness.

No gift is too small and every contribution is greatly appreciated.

WAYS OF GIVING

Tree of Life

The Tree of Life is a striking wooden sculpture that hangs prominently in the Jewish Home. Each leaf on the tree bears an inscription as a tribute or memorial to a loved one. Leaves may be purchased for a $1,200 gift to the Home.

WAYS OF GIVING

Sponsoring birthday celebrations

With a contribution of $613, you can support this joyous event and ensure that our residents – the people who are very dear to all of us – celebrate their special days in style. As the birthday sponsor, you are also honored, receiving eight invitations so that your family and friends may attend to celebrate with the residents. There is live music, some dancing and, of course, an opportunity to join in the singing of “Happy Birthday.”

WAYS OF GIVING

Multiply the impact of
your gift

Many companies match charitable contributions made by their employees or employees’ spouses. Matching programs can double – sometimes even triple – the value of your gift.

WAYS OF GIVING

Tribute cards to friends
and family

Those who wish to honor an important occasion or the memory of a loved one are invited to use the Jewish Home’s tribute card service. With a gift of $18 or more, the Home sends a beautiful card, created from art produced by our residents, to the individual who should know of your generosity and caring. With a $100 donation or more, the loved one’s and the donor’s names are inscribed in the Home’s Tribute Book.
