Overview
Bernard and Etta Weinberg Fund of the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia
Type: Restricted Family Fund
Fund Size: Approximately $23.8 million in assets with $9.8 million granted since 2010 - currently the largest restricted fund of the Jewish Federation
Funding Focus: According to Etta's original intentions and her will, the Fund directs money to support programs she cared most about:
Historical Context: The Fund originally directed money to specific programs Etta funded during her lifetime (Jewish Family and Children's Service: CLASP and Senior Horizons, as well as Passport to Israel). Funding for these eventually ended as the programs ended.
Current Focus: The committee continues to search for programs that are new and innovative and reflect Etta's core areas of interest. Viable options are limited, so the committee has begun to focus on programs that meet more of the basic, unmet needs of older adults while still considering opportunities that are new and innovative.
Award Period: The committee approves funding for up to three years.
