Legacy Society

The Jewish Family & Children’s Service (JFCS) Legacy Society recognizes a special group of supporters who have made a lasting commitment to the future of JFCS through a planned or legacy gift. These individuals ensure that JFCS can continue to provide critical behavioral health services, integrated healthcare and vital social services to future generations in Maricopa County.

By including JFCS in their estate plans, Legacy Society members become part of a tradition of compassionate giving that secures the strength, stability and continuity of our mission for years to come.

We are profoundly grateful to each member of the Legacy Society. Your commitment ensures that JFCS will always be here to offer healing and support to individuals and families in need today, tomorrow and well into the future.
