Donate to The COVID-19 Response/Maimonides Fund because Kol Yisrael Arevim Zeh La’zeh “All Jews are responsible one for another” The Jewish Federation and the Jewish Foundation of Greater New Haven have launched the COVID-19 Response/Maimonides Fund, seeding it with $108,000 to support the immediate needs of those most vulnerable. As of June 8, the fund has distributed $186,000 in emergency grants—and another $51,600 pending—to provide for critical human needs to synagogues, Jewish Family Service (food assistance and social services), JCARR, the Towers at Tower Lane (food assistance) and the Jewish Federation. Your support of this fund will enable us to make grants to our Jewish agencies and synagogues to help provide services related to food insecurity, unemployment and mental health support. We are facing unprecedented times. United as one Jewish community, we will meet the rising needs in our community and overcome the great challenge before us.

The Jewish Federation of Greater New Haven is grateful to be awarded a 3-year grant in the cumulative amount of $95,000 to provide general operating support for community-wide programming that helps people in need in the Greater New Haven area. The funds will also be used to nurture and sustain programs that enrich the local community (excluding grantmaking support). We are proud to have been recognized by this grant award for the work we have done in our community to provide basic needs to individuals, strengthen early childhood and school-age programming with special attention to low-income families, boost access to JCC services for underserved populations through the development of a transportation program, increase services to persons of all ages with disabilities and special needs, and implement additional security measures for our facilities. The Community Foundation for Greater New Haven’s 2020 responsive grant program has awarded $2.98 million to local nonprofit organizations working for the benefit of the community. The 36 local organizations receiving the awards provide a broad range of services to Greater New Haven residents including emergency food and shelter, mental and physical health care, early childhood and youth programs, education and the arts.
