Esther Fox became involved with the Jewish Community Federation (now the Jewish Community of Louisville) after a trip to Israel that “turned her on” to the work of the organization many years ago. She eventually served on the Federation Board and even chaired the Women’s Division of the Annual Campaign. In 2007, she decided to maintain her Annual Campaign commitment in perpetuity by establishing a P.A.C.E. fund (Perpetual Annual Campaign Endowment) with the Foundation for Planned Giving. At the time, she was only willing to publicize her fund in the hope that other women would realize they could do this too. “I believe,” she said, the greatest gift is to give of yourself to the things you think are important.
For more information about P.A.C.E. and other types of endowed funds, or to satisfy your own philanthropic goals by establishing an endowment with the Foundation in your name or in the name of a loved one, contact Stew Bromberg at 238-2755 or sbromberg@jewishlouisville.org.
