Today, The Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA) announced the creation of a $54 million campaign aimed at addressing the human services for Jewish communities and those supporting them on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic. The funds will be dispersed by local Federations to qualifying agencies.
“Since mid-March, Federations have been in active crisis management mode as the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted every part of Jewish communal life,” said JFNA board chair Mark Wilf. “They have used their endowments and launched emergency campaigns to support Jewish life and sustain their local agencies, yet the length and depth of this downturn remains unknown. We believe this effort will help alleviate Jewish families, seniors and others who have been hard hit by this pandemic.”
