About Jewish Federation of Greater Ann Arbor

A $506,060 program-support grant to Jewish Federations of North America is the largest recent award in the record and shows the scale at which Jewish Federation of Greater Ann Arbor operates. The federation uses direct programmatic funding to support local, national, Israel-linked, and overseas Jewish needs, with a grantmaking profile built around community services rather than individuals or investments. Recent support reaches Jewish Family Services of Washtenaw County, the Jewish Community Center Greater Ann Arbor, Hebrew Day School of Ann Arbor, University of Michigan Hillel, and The St Louis Center, showing a mix of social services, education, and Jewish communal institutions. Its stated purpose is to provide and inspire philanthropic leadership and community building for a strong, connected, and caring Jewish community locally, in Israel, and around the world. That purpose appears in the way the foundation funds both essential services and community infrastructure. The annual community campaign allocations process also connects local organizations with overseas needs, while specialized funds support Jewish camp access, student exchange with Nahalal, Holocaust and human rights education, and cultural and educational programming in Washtenaw County. The result is a grantmaker that combines broad communal allocations with targeted program support across multiple parts of Jewish life.

What Jewish Federation of Greater Ann Arbor Funds

Community services are a central part of the portfolio. Through annual community campaign allocations, the federation reviews proposals from organizations providing essential services to the Jewish community and awards campaign funds for local and overseas needs. That same pattern shows up in support for Jewish Family Services of Washtenaw County and the Jewish Community Center Greater Ann Arbor. Education is another clear theme. The federation supported Hebrew Day School of Ann Arbor, University of Michigan, and University of Michigan Hillel with program support, while the Student Exchange program sends local 9th graders to Israel for a ten-day spring-break visit hosted by teens in Moshav Nahalal. It also funds Israel Scholarships for Israel experiences and student support. Cultural and identity-building work appears through the Community Engagement Fund and the Zelma Weisfeld Fund for Culture & Education, both of which emphasize collaboration, innovation, and Jewish cultural or educational programming in Washtenaw County.
