2005–2006 - Jewish Community Federation

DOMESTIC ALLOCATIONS
PLANNING AND AGENCY SUPPORT PROCESS
Our Federation service area is home to a dynamic and innovative Jewish community. We
are blessed with vibrant agencies, schools and synagogues that provide essential programs
and services to meet the needs of our community, and with talented leaders to steward
our communal enterprise.
Through the PAS Committee process, field-of-service and regional committees conducted
a thorough review of each agency’s allocation request, taking into consideration such factors
as the fiscal health of the agency, and the quality and impact of programs and services.
Special circumstances that warranted new or increased funding were evaluated based
on the following criteria: significant increase in demand for the agency’s core services that
meet vital safety and security needs or essential health and social welfare needs; and funding
cutbacks that have resulted in a serious impact to the agency’s ability to deliver core
services that meet essential health and social welfare needs of Jews in our community.
In determining how to allocate the $10,584,324 for domestic programs and services, the
PAS Steering Committee recommended that the vast majority of agencies receive funding
at 100 percent of their 2004-2005 level and to target any additional funds toward priorities
highlighted in the 2004 Community Study.
