needs," explains co-treasurer
Pat Martz . As a result, the
JCS is requesting $3,900 to
help pay for a part-time com-
munity outreach director. The
JCS is also asking for $600 in
scholarship assistance.
The availability of more
money isn't the only factor af-
fecting the allocations pro-
cess. The committee is
developing formal parameters
to guide its members in the
future. It will make a presen-
tation to the UJA board Nov.
21. "We're attempting to put
policy guidelines down on
paper," says committee chair-
man Segel. The major issue
that needs to be addressed,
Segel says, is whether monies
should be allocated according
to program needs or organiza-
tional needs. Over the years
there's been a swing between
allocating for support at the
agency level or for specific
programs.
The allocations guidelines
would also impose certain re-
quirements. Organizations
would not be allowed to run
their own local campaigns
during the UJA campaign
and agencies would be re-
quired to supply updated
membership lists and finan-
cial information to the alloca-
tions committee.
Owen Perlman, vice presi-
dent of the UJA/JCA, believes
the limit on agency cam-
paigns might even be
broadened. "My feeling is
that we are working to help
develop a concept of a
federated and unified fund-
raising campaign in the com-
munity," he says.
This spring, for example,
the UJA planning committee
identified two areas that
should receive priority fund-
ing over the next five years:
strengthening Jewish iden-
tify and providing services to
the elderly.
Although the UJA board
did not formally adopt the
report, "The report will affect
our committee," says Segel.
"We have to take it seriously,"
agrees Perlman. "It appears
to represent a mandate from
the community."
One of its recommendations
suggested that the Hebrew
Day School, which received
6.4 percent of its total budget
from the UJA, should be fund-
ed at a significantly higher
level (13-14 percent) over the
next 5 years. "I'd like to make
it 13 percent of what our
budget ought to be, not just
what it is," notes day school
president Liz Fried. This past
year the day school received
$13,500 from the UJA. "That
way we could pay our vastly
underpaid teachers what they
should be paid," Fried adds.
Segel admits that he
doesn't know what the prac-
tical effet of the report will be.
"It's hard to say to what ex-
tent the allocations commit-
tee will be implementing
their priorities." The final
decision rests with the
UJA/JCA board. n
