As a non-profit community loan fund, Leviticus uses both donations and investments to help create viable, sustainable communities in our area.

In celebration of 25 years of community development work, the Leviticus Fund is launching a capital campaign to raise $2 million in equity over the next five years. This ambitious campaign is an important opportunity to build for the future by strengthening Leviticus’ capacity to respond to critical housing and community facility needs within the communities we serve.

Donations and non-government grants raised during this campaign period will be counted toward the one-for-one match requirement of pending federal Community Development Financial Institutions Fund grants. When combined, these donations – with the matching federal funds – create an important ripple effect within Leviticus. Together they generate more net assets, which attract more new investments, which increase our level of available loan capital for essential projects in low-income communities in the New York, New Jersey and Connecticut area.  

Here are some of the ways you can support the Leviticus Fund’s work…

Leviticus Alternative Fund
33 W. Main St
Room 205

Bequests

Designating the Leviticus Fund as a beneficiary in your will or life insurance policy is a way to continue supporting those community-based opportunities that are important to you beyond your own lifetime.

In the case of your will, you can designate a specific amount, a percentage or the residual of your estate after other bequest designations. With a life insurance policy, you can simply designate the Leviticus Fund as a beneficiary, which entitles your estate to a charitable tax deduction for the amount transferred to the Fund.

The following is suggested wording for a bequest in your will, or for a codicil added to your will:

“I hereby bequeath __________________ (dollar amount or percentage of my estate or residual of my estate after other bequests) to the Leviticus 25:23 Alternative Fund, Inc., 33 W. Main St., Elmsford, New York, 10523.”
