Philanthropy

Holocaust survivors are struggling in many parts of the world, including Israel. (See The Seattle Times’ July 8 article “Holocaust survivors’ poverty…”) 

Nearly $10 million worth of grants, scholarships and allocations to our community and to Jewish Federation programs, services and operations were recently approved and announced by the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle: $5.261 million from the Community Campaign, $3.5 million from endowment funds, $854,888 in donor designated funds, $102,223 for specific local projects, $42,370 for specific overseas projects, $101,727 in Jewish overnight camp scholarships, and $19,824 in teen Israel scholarships. Even our community's teens granted $7200 of community funds for social service projects through our J.Team youth philanthropy program.

We are still raising funds to pay for these allocations. Donate today!

On June 6, 22 Jewish teens will present checks totaling $7,200 to nonprofit agencies they chose as a group over this past school year. This will complete a year of philanthropic learning experienced by members of J.Team, or the Jewish Youth Philanthropy Team, at the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle.
