Lion of Judah Endowment Funds (LOJE) and Perpetual Annual Charitable Endowment Funds (PACE) are held by the Jewish Endowment Foundation of Louisiana (JEF) for the benefit of the Jewish Federation of Greater New Orleans (JFGNO). LOJE’s are created as a vehicle for women’s philanthropy and ongoing support of Jewish Federation and PACE is the men’s equivalent. Both are endowed funds established at JEF to provide financial support to the work of Jewish Federation of Greater New Orleans with the disbursement of funds to JFGNO during its Annual Campaign.
A LOJE or PACE can be established with a minimum donation of $100,000, but in order to assure perpetuity of the fund, an initial donation of $125,000 or more is encouraged. Funds can be established by a donor during his or her lifetime or can be established through an estate bequest.
