Dayton Accepted into LIFE & LEGACY Program

LIFE & LEGACY is a 4-year partnership program of the Harold Grinspoon Foundation that assists communities across North America, through partnerships with Jewish Federations and Foundations, to promote after-lifetime giving to benefit Jewish day schools, synagogues, social service organizations and other Jewish entities. Dayton was accepted into the program this past fall. Check out what our partners have to say!
