COMMUNITY NEW GRANT INITIATIVE CREATED IN MEMORY OF LINDA DUBOW

By Kellie Smith, Jewish Federation & Foundation of Northeast Florida

Linda DuBow, of blessed memory, with her husband Laurie. The Jewish Federation & Foundation of Northeast Florida is proud to announce the creation of the Linda DuBow Beautifi cation Fund in memory of our beloved lifelong community member. The DuBow family worked closely with the Jewish Foundation to establish the fund and the parameters for which grants can be made. Each year a committee of volunteer community members will meet and review the beautifi cation requests.

Linda, a native of Jacksonville and member of the Jacksonville Jewish Center, was always interested in improving the aesthetics and functionality of the places that were important to her. In that regard, the family established the Linda DuBow Beautifi cation Fund to grant requests to the agencies that she held dear.

We are delighted to announce the awarding of $15,000 total for the fi rst of two grants. Stay tuned as we will highlight the beautifi cation projects in the next few months.

“Mom was always quick to point out when she felt something needed a fresh new look and we feel she would be very proud of this fund that has been established in her memory,” says daughter, Susan DuBow.

The Jewish Foundation is honored to be working with the DuBow family in helping to remember and celebrate Linda.
