A
fter a year of financial belt
tightening, the Jewish
Federation of Metropolitan
Detroit and its constituent agencies
got some partially good news -
allocations for this year would
remain steady.
On June 24, Federation's Board of
Governors approved the budget plan
developed by its staff for allocating
$34.125 million in pledges from the
2004 Annual Campaign. After fund-
raising costs and uncollected pledges,
nearly $30 million was available to
allocate. Campaign pledges totaled
$30.325 million, $75,000 more than
last year. The Jane and Larry
Sherman Family Challenge Fund,
which matched new and increased
donations, raised another $3.8 mil-

plan to wean itself from tapping
reserves to supplement campaign
allocations even though supplemen-

nal programs and services.
In 2003, local agencies faced
across-the-board allocation cuts gen-
erally ranging from 4 to 11 percent
because of a flat campaign.
Federation tapped into only
$968,000 in reserves - a decrease
of more than $5 million in addition-
al support, said Mark Davidoff,
Federation executive director and
chief operating officer.
In 2004, Davidoff said Federation
was ahead of schedule in its three-
year plan.
"The first year, we planned to cut
allocations and use reserves, and we
had to do both," he said. "The sec-
ond year, we had planned to cut
allocations and use reserves, and we
didn't have to do either."
Davidoff said Federation has
weaned itself from using reserves
"ahead of schedule."
For the plan to work, he said, "our
projections require us to have about
