Distribution Report
Ezras Torah Endowment Funds
Ezras Torah presently has 1,198 donors who have established personalized endowment funds or loan funds with
us. The income of the personalized endowment funds is dedicated to the support of Ezras Torah's programs for
Housing Loans, Interest Free Loans, Emergency Medical Needs, and Hachnosas Choson V'Kallah. Named individual
endowments can be started with a pledge of $1,000 or more. These named endowments are usually made in honor
of oneself or another individual, special anniversary events or in memory of a departed loved one.
Wills and Legacies
Over the past several years Ezras Torah has become the beneficiary of over $2,100,000 from wills and legacies.
The funds realized from these bequests were allocated to Ezras Torah's general distributions and Ezras Torah's
Endowment Fund according to the expressed desire of the benefactor. It is known that making a charitable
bequest in a will brings special merit for a long life.
