Each responsible, one for the other.
Our extended family in Israel and around the world is never far from our minds and hearts. That’s why our Israel & Overseas Task Force works tirelessly to study their needs and weigh options to address next year’s global concerns. Working alongside our partners on the ground, committee members establish priorities, allocate resources and make some tough decisions.
40% of our overseas allocation goes to Core funding, which are unrestricted funds to our historic overseas partners, The American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC), Jewish Agency for Israel (JAFI), and World ORT allowing them to plan for and support Jewish needs in Israel and around the world that reflect our communities overseas priorities.
The other 60% goes to Community Elective Funding. The specific programs supported in 2019 are based on the following Israel and Overseas Funding Priorities:
