Where Does My Money Go?
2009
The Federation supports a wide variety of projects both locally and abroad. Seventy percent of all funds raised stay in our local community.
Youth of Lane County (15%):
• Support for B’nai B’rith Youth
• Scholarships given to high schoolers for travel to Israel
• Financial support to the University of Oregon HillelJewish Family Services (54%):
Staffing a Jewish Family Service Coordinator allows the Jewish Federation of Lane County to provide ongoing services to families of Lane County. Our social worker coordinates emergency aid for local Jews in need; provides family support; makes personal visits and phone calls to the seniors in our community; pays hospital visits and assists with discharge planning; provides ongoing support for individuals with mental health needs; and advocates and coordinates with local social service agencies.
• $35.00 purchases taxi service for an alter-abled person who cannot use public transportation
• $50.00 provides three visits to an elderly nursing home resident
• $200.00 buys an eye exam and glasses
• $300.00 pays for the Senior Brunch serving 45+ Jewish seniors in our community
Jewish Federations of North America (20%):
We support world Jewry as the local fundraiser for Jewish Federations of North America (formerly United Jewish Communities, formerly United Jewish Appeal). Our contributors provide:
- Resettlement for former Soviet Union Jews in Israel
- Relief and evacuation for Jewish refugees in dozens of countries, including Ethiopia, Bosnia, Brazil, Iraq, Chechnya and eastern Europe
- Israel experiences for Jewish-American young adults
- The establishment and support of internation Hillels, Jewish libraries, Jewish Federations, and other Jewish outreach programs worldwide
- Rehabilitation of disadvantaged Israeli neighborhoods, including educational and vocational training
- Support for Jews throughout the world
JPAF (Jewish Public Affairs Forum, <1%):
This monthly forum brings local and national names to Eugene for a lunchtime presentation of current topics.We are proud of our ability to support these projects, but regret that we still lack funds to meet the ever-growing needs of our Jewish community. Our responsibility to provide tzeddakah for all never stops. Please, give generously. And as you enter another year, let G-d and wisdom guide you … and you will always know happiness and success.
