Define Independent Fund-Raising Role
New members of the Jewish
Welfare Federation executive com-
mittee and board of governors,
and of its budget and planning di-
visions, were announced by Hyman
Safran, president.
Max M. Fisher was re-elected
chairman of the executive com-
mittee. New members-at-large in-
clude Mrs. Harry L. Jones, Mrs.
Philip R. Marcuse and Max J.
Zivian.
Additions to the board of gov-
ernors include Edward C. Levy,
Sr., representing the Detroit Serv-
ice Group; Samuel Linden, Jewish
Community Center; Harry Nathan,
Greater Detroit Bnai Brith Coun-
cil; Dr. Samuel Krohn, Jewish
Community Council; and Dr.
Shmarya Kleinman, Workman
Circle-Jewish Labor Committee.
It was reported at the last
board of governors meeting by
William Avrunin, executive di-
rector of Federation, that bud-
geting for local, national and
overseas agencies for the com-
ing year will be based on the
anticipated achievement of $5,-
100,000 in the 1965 Allied Jew-
ish Campaign. The increase over
last year's figure will result in
additional funds for all three
buds qing categories. In Detroit,
the Jewish community programs
will enjoy a budget of $1,801,-
981, some $74,000 over last year.
National agencies will receive
$245,552 and the balance of the
funds will be available for over-
seas and Israel causes, including
the United Jewish Appeal, in-
creasing the amount for overseas
by more than $300,000.

A program designed to place
in perspective the relationship
between independent fund-rais-
ing drives and the community's
central Allied Jewish Campaign
was approved by the Jewish
Welfare Federation.
Safran announced the adoption
by the Board of Governors of a set
of "Guidelines for Federation
Leaders on Independent Appeals"
following several years of active
consideration of the question by
Federation's executive committee,
under the leadership of Judge
Theodore Levin and Max M.
Fisher.
The Guidelines recognize that
philanthropic activity in the Jew-
ish community is voluntary. As
long as groups organize to raise
funds, some citizens will support
them. However, voluntarism re-
quires a responsible and informed
leadership if it is to operate effi-
ciently and serve the general in-
terest.
In essence. all Federation lead-
ers are urged to take personal re-

sponsibility in ensuring the con-
tinued primacy of the Allied Jew-
ish Campaign while retaining their
right to support valid Jewish
causes outside of the central com-
munity fund. It is the responsi-
bility of leadership, the Guidelines
point out, to use their influence
to assure that the independent ap-
peals are scheduled in an orderly
fashion and that they adopt the
highest possible fund-raising stan-
dards. Basic information concern-
ing these appeals and financial
reports to the community in which
they conduct their fund-raising ef-
forts should become an accepted
practice, Safran stated.
The Guideline document con-
cludes with the statement that,
"Implementation of these guide-
lines will promote the general
communal welfare while serving
the best interests of independent
philanthropic groups. The va-
riety of Jewish groupings within
our community should be en-
couraged to seek their support
and financing in an orderly and
constructive f a s h i o n. Wide-
spread acceptance of these goals
will strengthen our individual
and total community efforts."
Guidelines will be issued shortly
to all persons active in Federation
policy-making capacities and com-
mittees. The Guidelines, Safran
said, were developed after consid-
eration of the practices of other
important Federations throughout
the country and of national or-
ganizations which have been
studying similar problems in the
Jewish and non-sectarian fields,
including the Council of Jewish
Federations and Welfare Funds
and the National Social Welfare
Assembly.

who visited here for a few days

towards advancing the partnership
spirit between U. S. and Israeli
