Retirement Plans

You may choose to name Chabad of the Caldwells as a beneficiary of your retirement assets, including IRAs, 401(k)s, Keogh plans, and similar accounts.

How It Works

  • Name Chabad of the Caldwells as a full or partial beneficiary.
  • The gift is transferred directly to Chabad upon your passing.
  • You may continue to access and withdraw funds during your lifetime.
  • Beneficiary designations can be updated at any time if your circumstances change.

Benefits
