Teen Tzedek Application

Each teen starts with an initial contribution to their fund. The Kranzberg Family Foundation contributes an additional gift to achieve an even greater opening balance. There are two options to open your account:

Option A: Contribute $200 to start your fund, and the Kranzberg Family Foundation will contribute $300, for an opening balance of $500.

Option B: Contribute $100 to start your fund, and the Kranzberg Family Foundation will contribute $150, for an opening balance of $250.

You can only receive an opening gift from the Kranzberg Family Foundation one time – meaning you cannot choose option B and then decide later to add another $100 to the account and receive more matching funds from the Kranzberg Family Foundation. This is a one-time opening contribution and gift. After you open the account, you are welcome to make additional contributions at any time (must contribute at least $18 per year for account to remain current).

For an individual account to remain current, the fund holder must make their annual allocation and make an annual principal contribution of at least $18.

To sign up, parents and teens should complete this form together.

Please read and sign the terms of the Teen Tzedek account:*
Participant must make initial contribution of either $100 (KFF adds $150) or $200 (KFF adds $300) per student to create their own philanthropic fund. The monies are invested and managed by the Jewish Federation of St. Louis.

Each year you are required to add at least $18 to your fund. This amount goes toward the balance so that you will have more to allocate each year. You must also make your yearly allocation to keep your fund active.

Toward the end of each year, you will be notified that it is time to choose the charity you would like to allocate to. You can make as many allocations as you would like as long as each distribution to a 501c3 organization is at least $18 and you keep a minimum balance of $100 in the fund.

When you reach the age of 20, your fund will automatically become a Donor Advised Fund. If you do not have a $500 balance at that time, you will have a year to bring the balance up to the minimum of a Donor Advised Fund. If you do not wish to continue with the Donor Advised Fund, you can close your account by allocating the remaining funds to a charity so that your balance then becomes zero.

If you choose to stop participating in the program, you would consider your account as a donation…the original funds granted to you from the Kranzberg Family Foundation will go back to fund another teen.
