The Joy of Giving
We sincerely thank those of you who have expressed the desire to give a gift. Your generosity is truly appreciated. Instead of a physical gift, we invite you to consider donating to the Jewish Community Foundation, dedicated to the Carlos and Esther Michan Family Fund. This act of giving would be our most treasured gift, embodying the true spirit of ‘The Joy of Giving’ for you and us simultaneously. Rest assured, your donation will be thoughtfully allocated to various organizations that will genuinely appreciate and benefit from it.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Carlos and Esther Michan
Your gift is a donation to the Carlos and Esther Michan Family Fund, which is fully tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. The Michan family will make grant recommendations at their discretion from this fund to support the 501(c)(3) nonprofits of their choice in the issue-areas they are most passionate about.
You may include comments, questions and special instructions within the form. Please note: Jewish Community Foundation of San Diego is charged a fee (approximately 3%) by the processing banks. While you will receive a tax receipt for the full amount of your donation, the proceeds credited to the fund will be reduced by this fee.

Donating appreciated securities often allows donors to make a bigger philanthropic impact, and to receive greater tax advantages than donating cash or selling the stock and donating the proceeds. By donating appreciated securities, you bypass capital gains tax and may deduct the fair market value of your gift.
Please call 858-279-2740 or email us for further instructions.
You may make a contribution via a direct bank wire to the Foundation. Please call 858-279-2740 or email us for further instructions.
Donating cryptocurrency, such as Bitcoin, may result in a tax deduction equal to the fair market value of the donated cryptocurrency (as determined by a qualified appraisal). Your gift to charity may also be larger because instead of paying income or capital gains taxes, the Jewish Community Foundation will receive the full value of your contribution. Donors should consult with a professional tax advisor prior to gifting cryptocurrency. We partner with Giving Block to process this donation. Giving Block’s processing and administrative cost is currently 5.00% of the U.S. Dollar-denominated proceeds. The net proceeds can be credited to your Donor Advised Fund or directed to any 501(c)3 charity.
