Mission & Focus Areas
The Federation states that it funds a variety of constituent and beneficiary agencies, with the aim of enabling New Haven County residents to grow socially and culturally. Its program descriptions include operating the Center for Jewish Life and Learning, supporting teen and adult education, providing allocations to other agencies, and operating refugee resettlement and community-relations programs.
Its grant priorities include combating antisemitism, Israel advocacy and education, and Jewish programming for youth, teens, and college students. The Federation’s grant materials also emphasize community collaboration, Jewish learning and immersive experiences, engaging unaffiliated community members, and creative programs advancing Jewish values.
The Federation’s 2024 grants included support for Jewish Family Services and Camp Laurelwood. Jewish Family Services’ stated mission is to provide care, counseling, and adoption services regardless of income, age, religion, or race. Camp Laurelwood describes itself as Connecticut’s only Jewish nonprofit overnight camp and a shoreline Jewish day camp, with objectives that include fostering personal growth, leadership, and connection to the Jewish community.
Grantmaking
Its website describes a programmatic grant process for local 501(c)(3) nonprofit agencies, synagogues, and Jewish organizations.
Among the largest reported 2024 grants were $345,989 to the Jewish Federation Association of North America, $70,000 to Jewish Family Services, $65,000 each to Ezra Academy and Southern CT Hebrew Academy, and $61,800 to Tower One Inc. The stated purpose for these grants was charitable distribution. Other listed recipients included Camp Laurelwood ($42,000), the Jewish Federation Association of Connecticut ($18,300), the Jewish Cemetery Association ($15,000), and BBYO ($10,000).
The Federation’s allocation process calls for eligible agencies to submit an application documenting their mission, programs, funding needs, board and staff information, recent financial reports and Form 990, and results from the prior year’s allocation. A volunteer Planning & Allocations Committee reviews applications, meets with agency representatives, and recommends how available funds should be divided. For program proposals, the Federation’s guidelines specify that requests should address unmet needs or align with its priorities, and that awards are for specific programs or community needs—not unrestricted or capital purposes. Proposals are evaluated for alignment with priorities, demonstrated need, feasibility, and a detailed implementation plan and timeline.
