Generations Society

Generations Society is a group of NCJW/Essex members who choose to include the organization in their estate planning or through planned giving.

Including NCJW/Essex in estate planning reinforces your long-time commitment to NCJW/Essex and recognizes the role it has played in your life. Being a member of Generations Society is a tangible way to help sustain NCJW/Essex and the volunteerism, advocacy and connections that have made it so meaningful to you.

Becoming a member of Generations Society is simple and is available to anyone who makes a gift of any type to NCJW/Essex as part of their planned giving choices. We encourage you to consult with your family and your financial advisor, and simply let us know that you are remembering NCJW/Essex in your estate plan so we can acknowledge your special commitment to our future.

Please contact Caitlin Higgins Joy, NCJW/Essex Executive Director, at 973-740-0588 to discuss becoming a member of Generations Society.

NCJW/Essex gave me the opportunity to re-invent myself as a "professional volunteer." While doing good, I gained skills, confidence and a sisterhood of committed and passionate women. My [Generations Society gift will help ensure the opportunity for others in the future.

My commitment to NCJW/Essex is very strong and I have supported it financially from the time I became involved to today. I felt the need to continue my commitment after my death to help my organization - the one that I have worked so hard for throughout my years.

I am proud to call myself a member and leader of the National Council of Jewish Women, a woman who has benefitted from and hopefully contributed to the important work that this organization has done through advocacy and community service on behalf of women, children and families and the preservation of individual rights and liberties for us all. These are not easy times. But NCJW/Essex and its members are an organization of thinkers and doers who will not give up the fight. And those of us who are involved in this very special organization find that we derive at least as much as we give – in friendships, new skills and career opportunities, and a deeper and broader understanding of the country and world in which we live. What could be better, more important, or more fulfilling than that?
