THIS IS FEDERATION. 121 Steuart Street • San Francisco, CA 94105 • 415.777.0411 • www.jewishfed.org

Building for the 21st century It has been 100 years since a group of visionary leaders and emerging Jewish agencies created this Jewish Community Federation. For all of these 100 years, the Federation has promoted the ageless Jewish values of community (kehilla), intentionality (kavod), justice and care for our community (tzedakah), and repairing the world (tikkun olam) in order to ensure a thriving Jewish people here, in Israel and around the world. These guiding principles propelled our community forward this past year, and despite the devastating economic downturn, more than $22.8 million was given through the Annual Campaign to ensure our safety net and sustain our thriving Jewish community. In addition, tens of millions more dollars were contributed to the endowed and donor involved funds and foundations of the Jewish Community Endowment Fund. Emergency grants from the Jewish Community Endowment Fund’s unrestricted fund, our community’s precious emergency resource, provided front-line Jewish service providers more than $2 million in additional resources. In spite of the worst economy since the 1930’s, our JCF/JCEF community generously drove a combined $154,000,000 into vital Jewish and community projects around the world. Through JCF’s and JCEF’s leadership and engagement opportunities – the Israel Center, Business Leadership Council, Young Adults Division, LGBT Alliance, Russian-Jewish Community, Women’s Philanthropy, Young Funders Forum, Teen Foundations, Diller Teens, Foundation Council and the GET FED program – we have engaged thousands of our fellow Jews. And most importantly, we continue to be a communal hub for resources, expertise, Jewish philanthropic services, direction, guidance and investment. We have come far this past year, and face today’s challenges with a solid new leadership team committed to re-imagine the Federation for this century. This year we will undertake a journey of strategic change: processing our past and creating a vision of our future, to strengthen the relevance and value the Federation has to our community for the next 100 years. These are exciting times indeed. Together, we will work to sustain our unique and vibrant Jewish community, secure and strengthen Israel, build a new generation of Jewish leaders and repair our world.

resulted in 34 direct grants

Our funds cover a portion of the operations at Table to Table, an innovative program that leverages volunteers to help feed more than 11,500 hungry people in Israel – every day – with food that would otherwise go to waste. The funded staff members in the Leket Work Program are previously unemployed Arab women – a demographic with the highest rate of unemployment in Israel, and for whom employment is one of the strategic imperatives of the Israeli government. Our grant amounts to about $60 a day.

HELPING AT-RISK YOUTH We provide 1/3 of the funds for the Lasova-Kadima youth center in Tel Aviv, where over 60 poor, at-risk teens receive meals and homework assistance and other afterschool education. Our grant amounts to a little more than $1.52 per young person per day.

and give children a head start on education, and support the work of multiple Jewish agencies in Israel.

JEWISH AND ARAB ISRAELIS LEARN TO UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER There are 900 students attending school in four Hand in Hand schools in Jerusalem, Wadi A’ra, The Misgav Region of the Galil, and Be’ersheva. JCF grants provide scholarships for 75 of these students from low income families.

PREPARING STUDENTS TO BETTER PARTICIPATE IN ISRAELI LIFE ECHAD is a strategic partnership of JDC-Ashalim, 4 government ministries and JCF, focusing on training of Arab Israeli early childhood education professionals, working with parents and children in developing skills, and touching more than 8,500 children, 3,600 parents and 1,100 community professionals. Our investment (representing 35% of the total budget) has proven itself, and the ECHAD program is now serving as the model for the Israeli government’s initiative to reach at-risk Arab-Israeli children of preschool age, which is expected to reach an estimated 35,000 young children in 22 localities in Israel. Our grant amounts to 15 cents per child per day.

45 GRADUATES GAIN SKILLS TO GET GOOD JOBS IN HIGH TECH Tech-Career is focused on developing community leadership and economic empowerment among Ethiopian-Israelis, the vast majority of whom are working in very low-level jobs, and provides training for professional positions within high tech industries. The JCF grant represents 13% of the budget for this program where 45 students graduate and gain higher employment every year.

rapid response to the worst

Thanks to a generous Emergency Education Grant from the Jim Joseph Foundation, JCF administered funds in partnership with the Silicon Valley Federation, the Federation of the Greater East Bay, and the Bureau of Jewish Education enabling families to keep their children enrolled in Jewish preschools, day schools, and Jewish overnight summer camps throughout the Bay Area.

JCF emergency grants helped hundreds of fellow Bay Area Jews with interest-free loans from Hebrew Free Loan. As a result of the economic downturn, Hebrew Free Loan saw a 33% increase in overall demand. JCF emergency grants enabled the agency to keep pace with this increased need, and HFL was able to approve loans which would have otherwise been rejected for lack of loan funds. As a result, the number of loans approved by HFL was up 17% and the dollars loaned increased 23% over the prior year.

These needs range from increased demand for counseling and placement services for recently laid-off

EMERGENCY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE JCF emergency grants helped provide emergency financial assistance and meals through Jewish Family and Children’s Services. This direct financial assistance program serves 2,000+ individuals and families each year, including low-income Holocaust survivors. The average grant size is $500, and during the last year approximately 50% of all emergency grants have been directed to support the two most basic needs – food and shelter. The total financial assistance budget is approximately $2.7 million, and JCF funds represent 39% of that amount.

60 UNEMPLOYED GOT GOOD JOBS One grant was used to hire an additional full-time Employment Specialist at Jewish Vocational Service who assisted 120 unemployed people, resulting in 60 who secured good jobs.

560 JOBSEEKERS WERE HELPED JCF support to Jewish Vocational Service provided the means for 360 people to receive technical assistance and 200 people to attend career development workshops.
