About Jewish Federation of Greater Metrowest Nj
A $2.93 million grant to Daughters Of Israel Geriatric Center in West Orange is the clearest signal in the recent record: this funder backs local Jewish communal infrastructure at a large scale, with repeated support for elder care, schools, family services, and community institutions across Greater MetroWest NJ. Jewish Federation of Greater Metrowest NJ also gave $679,425 to JCC Metrowest and $658,611 to Joseph Kushner Hebrew Academy in 2024, showing how its funding connects service delivery, education, and broad-based communal programming. The grant list includes recurring support for institutions that serve children, families in economic distress, Holocaust survivors, and older adults, alongside gifts to Jewish camping, vocational services, and campus Jewish life. In several cases, the same organizations appear in consecutive years, suggesting a funding relationship that extends beyond one-off project support. The foundation’s active programs also show that it co-sponsors community events and provides need-based financial assistance for student Israel programs of 10 days or more for residents of Greater MetroWest.
