Nurturing Our Community

The Federation’s Annual Community Campaign, along with our other philanthropic efforts, is how we as a community take care of the needs of the Jewish people and build, foster and sustain vibrant Jewish life.

Annually, the Federation’s allocations committees and Board of Directors consider local community-building needs and global shared responsibilities to inform their decisions. Together with our beneficiary agencies that provide essential social services and programs, we work in partnership to repair the world and to keep Jewish life strong and thriving.

Your generous support touches and transforms lives, creates connections, repairs the world, and ensures our community is cared for locally, in Israel and around the globe.

Thank you!

 

How are allocations determined?

Every year, two groups of volunteer Allocations Committees (one local & domestic and one for Israel & Overseas), plus the Board of Directors, consider proposals from organizations that provide essential services to the Jewish community. View our Annual Impact Report below to see which organizations received funds from last year’s Annual Community Campaign.

 

Annual Allocations Timeline

Organizations seeking funding submit proposals that are reviewed in April each year. The Board of Directors votes to approve the year’s allocations at the monthly Board meeting in May. An announcement of allocations for the year is made to the entire community at the Annual Meeting in late May or early June each year.

 

For questions or more information about allocations, please contact Eileen Freed at eileenfreed@jewishannarbor.org or (734) 773-3537.
