In this season of giving, please consider a year-end contribution to Heilicher. If you have already given, thank you. Over 35% of grandparents have made gifts to Heilicher so far this year.
Our current Annual Fund achievement is $282,000. The Annual Fund Challenge before December 31 is to raise $50,000 in additional support. Every gift helps us get there.
You can make a tax-deductible contribution before the end of the year by:
mailing a check to: Heilicher at 4330 S. Cedar Lake Road, Minneapolis, MN 55416
gifting your IRA minimum distribution* to Heilicher, or
calling Heilicher at 951.381.3500 between December 26-28.
Thank you again for all you do to ensure a bright future for Heilicher.

*Gift IRA Minimum Distributions The tax laws require taxpayers who have reached age 70.5 and own an IRA to take Required Minimum Distributions annually. These distributions are normally taxable. You may avoid the tax on your Required Minimum Distributions to the extent that you make gifts directly from your IRA to a 501(c)(3) organization such as the Heilicher Minneapolis Jewish Day School. If you meet these criteria, please consider a year-end IRA contribution to Heilicher! For more information, contact CFO Karen Hoppe at 952.381.3525.
Fall 2018 Yom Dor L'Dor "Gratitude & Legacy"
This fall we hosted over 150 grandparents and special friends from near and far. New this year, Heilicher offered ways for grandparents to participate from afar - by submitting letters about gratitude and legacy to share with their grandchildren.
Arlene and Jerry Perloff share their vision of legacy and gratitude with their grandson, Ben R.
Check out this slideshow of the many generations together at Yom Dor l'Dor.
Save the date for the next Yom Dor L'Dor for April
18, 2019, and we will again offer ways for grandparents to participate who are unable to attend in person. Technology is great!
