JEWISH FOUNDATION OF NASHVILLE| 801 Percy Warner Boulevard Suite 102 | Nashville, TN 37205 | 615-356-3242

August 31, 2007

Dear Friends, We are pleased to present the fiscal year 2006--2007 Annual Report of the Jewish Foundation of Nashville, the endowment arm of the Jewish Federation. 2007 was a year of continued growth for the Jewish Foundation of Nashville. Total contributions to Foundation funds were up almost 89% over last year, and new fund creation was up 6%. We are proud to report that the Jewish Foundation’s total assets reached almost $29.9 million as of August 31, 2007.

These dollars represent our community’s insurance policy for the future and our working capital for the here and now. In addition, B’nai Tzedek fund creation was up over 7.5%, giving more youth an opportunity to practice tzedakah as part of a larger giving community.

Our Book of Life runs continuously on a plasma screen in the lobby of the Gordon Jewish Community Center and is housed in a one of a kind sculpture inspired by our Foundation logo. It is a pathway to the future, celebrating those community members who have committed themselves to the future of our Jewish people by making a permanent endowed gift to benefit local, national or international Jewish agencies, organizations or congregations.

With your support, the Jewish Foundation will continue to help insure a permanent, vibrant and secure Jewish Community here in Nashville, nationally, in Israel and around the world. We are grateful to those who partner with us and extend an invitation to those who have yet to do so. We are honored to be our community’s trusted resource for philanthropy for generations in the future. The Jewish Foundation has relevance at all stages of life, from seed to sprout to branch to tree.

Foundation Is Life, Pass It On...

In celebration of its 25th anniversary in 2005, the Jewish Foundation of Nashville launched the Book of Life, a donor recognition program honoring community members who have committed themselves to the future of our Jewish people. The Book of Life, a beautiful sculpture in the lobby of the Gordon Jewish Community Center, allows donors to provide a digital narrative reflecting their thoughts and feelings that motivated them to provide for an endowed gift. The cornerstone of the Book of Life is the creation of a permanent gift for the Jewish com-munity and for Nashville, Israel or elsewhere. The Book of Life is constantly evolving. It grows as our community members share their legacy plans with the Jewish Foundation.

The B’nai Tzedek program, sponsored by the families of Sylvia R. Feldman, Ted Feldman and Heidi and John Hassenfeld, establishes a Jewish Foundation account in the name of a Bar or Bat Mitzvah-age teen and has proven to be attractive to teens, who are learning the value of Tikkun Olam, the repair of the world.
