Major & Legacy Giving

Move a mission. Change a generation.

17 years of proven grassroots service. A newly established 501(c)(3). A 5.2-acre Beacon Center rising in Cleveland, OH. This is the ground-floor moment for donors who move markets and shape institutions.

Why now, why us

The proof is 17 years old. The vision is just beginning.

Investors ask two questions: does the team execute, and is the opportunity real? Ruach has fed 40,800+ neighbors and changed 5,000+ lives before we ever raised a formal dollar. Now, with 501(c)(3) status, the ceiling is gone.

A proven, self-funded track record

Nearly two decades of volunteer-driven service before formal fundraising. This team performs before the checks arrive.

A defined capital vision

A 5.2-acre Beacon Center campus and 13 wraparound programs — architected, scoped, and ready to fund.

Faith-rooted, all-are-welcome ethos

Spirit-led leadership serving every race, culture, age, and ability with dignity. No one is turned away.

Multiplied impact per dollar

Grassroots networks, church partnerships, and volunteer scale multiply every philanthropic dollar you invest.

Ways to give at scale

Tax-smart, legacy-shaping options.

We work with your financial advisor, attorney, or family office to structure a gift that reflects your values and your estate plan.

Avoid capital gains and maximize your deduction by gifting appreciated assets.

Donor Advised Fund (DAF)

Direct grants from your Fidelity Charitable, Schwab, Vanguard, or community foundation DAF.

IRA Qualified Charitable Distribution

Donors 70½+ can give up to $105k/year directly from an IRA — no income recognition.

Real Estate & Property

Homes, land, commercial property, and vacation homes can be gifted outright or via bargain sale.

Estate & Planned Giving

Bequests, charitable remainder trusts, and beneficiary designations that leave a legacy.

Corporate Sponsorship

Program underwriting, matching gifts, and multi-year partnership commitments.

Multiply the mission

Your investment names a movement.

Major donors can name a program partnership, dedicate a Beacon Center room or wing, sponsor a chapter launch in a new city, or establish an endowment. Every gift is stewarded with quarterly reporting and direct-line access to the founders.
