Overview
Bernard and Etta Weinberg Family Fund
Overview: Currently the largest restricted fund of the Jewish Federation with approximately $23.8 million in assets and $9.8 million granted since 2010.
Funding Focus Areas:
Historical Context: According to Etta's original intentions, the Fund directed money to programs she funded during her lifetime: Jewish Family and Children's Service (CLASP and Senior Horizons programs) and Passport to Israel. Funding for these eventually ended as programs concluded. Per Etta's will, the Fund now supports programs she cared most about.
Committee Focus: The committee continues to search for programs that are new and innovative while reflecting Etta's core areas of interest. Given limited viable options, the committee has begun focusing on programs that meet basic, unmet needs of older adults while considering opportunities that are new and innovative.
Funding Duration: The committee approves funding for up to three years
