The AHS Community today stands on the shoulders of giants \u2013 visionary individuals who, with foresight and generosity, arranged for legacy gifts that continue to shape the educational experiences of Associated students.\u00a0<\/p>

A six-figure legacy gift can be truly transformational, impacting the future of AHS for generations to come. But every planned gift \u2013 whether a $1,000 bequest, a $10,000 life insurance policy, or a more substantial commitment \u2013 contributes to the strength and sustainability of our school.<\/p>

Most of the legacy gifts received to date came as a surprise to us, as quiet testaments to the power of Jewish education. While we are profoundly grateful for these unexpected donations, we hope that more community members will consider making arrangements and sharing their plans with us in advance<\/a>.<\/p>

Atid CHAI is our new legacy giving program designed to recognize and thank our community members during their lifetimes. The name \u201cAtid CHAI\u201d combines two key Hebrew concepts: \u05e2\u05ea\u05d9\u05d3 means \u201cfuture;\u201d\u00a0 \u05d7\u201d\u05d9 means \u201clife\u201d and is also an acronym for Jewish Education (\u05d7\u05d9\u05e0\u05d5\u05da \u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d3\u05d9 – Chinuch Yehudi).\u00a0 Therefore, Atid CHAI can be understood as \u201cThe Future of Jewish Education\u201d or \u201cA Living Future for Jewish Learning\u201d \u2013 emphasizing both continuity and vitality in Jewish education.<\/p>

You will find that there\u2019s a planned giving vehicle for everyone \u2013 small or large donations, from donors young and old.\u00a0 The options are outlined here<\/a>, but we encourage you to speak with your financial advisor to determine which works best for you and your situation.<\/p>

By sharing your intentions with us today, you can inspire others, connect with like-minded supporters, and see the impact of your generosity while strengthening the foundation of our school for generations to come. Your gift is not just an investment in education \u2013 it is a powerful statement of faith in our community\u2019s future.<\/p>

The good news is that you are in the majority: a 2024 survey by the Logit Group found that only 43% of Canadians have a will.[1]<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0 However, financial and legal experts will advise writing a will when you go through life changes such as: getting married; buying a house; having children or when your financial circumstances change.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t have a lawyer, there are a few online resources that will help you write a will, starting at $49.[2]<\/sup><\/a><\/p>

Of course you do; providing for your family is your top priority. One option some people find reassuring is allocating a small percentage of their estate to your favourite organization, like Associated Hebrew Schools. This way, you ensure your family is well cared for while also making a meaningful impact on future generations of AHS students. Even a modest gift can make a significant difference.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
