facilities for scientists and
engineers, including recent
Soviet emigres.
The overall approach, say
many local fund raisers, has
been to remain "low-key"
while relying on a solid core
of supporters. With only a
direct mail campaign, the
Weizmann Institute raised
$70,000 locally.
Finding new sources of in-
come may be a challenge in a
recession, but it may be an
annual event for national
charities in Detroit. Robert
Aronson, the executive vice
president of the Jewish Fed-
eration of Metropolitan
Detroit, said local federa-
tions across the country are
cutting allocations to na-
tional charities. Detroit, he
said, is considering such a
move.
Tom Wexelberg-Clouser,
who joined Detroit's office of
the Jewish Theological
Seminary two months ago as
director, is facing a fund-
raising crunch at an unfor-
tunate time. The Seminary
is seeking more funds, not
less.
"We are caught between a
recession and needs for
community money to go to
UJA, or Detroit's Allied
Jewish Campaign," said Mr.
Wexelberg-Clouser. JTS is
seeking to increase financial
support for its programs
both here in America and in
the Soviet Union and Israel.
In this bottom-dollar time,
however, most Jewish
organizations have come
face-to-face with not only
shrinking donations, but
their own budgets. Office
staffs, outlays for fund-
raising dinners and other
expenses have come under
scrutiny as organizations
learn to bite the bullet.
The local office of the
American Jewish Congress,
which six • years ago carried
some office staff, now
operates without one. That
has reduced the load on fund
raisers and allows AJC to
pursue an agenda free from
financial worry.
"There are only so many
organizations that the com-
munity can support full
time," said Robert Brown,
president of the local
chapter. ❑
