Source: Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit Tough Cuts from page 15 Distribution Committee and ORT would be down 12 percent (18 percent over two years). He said Detroit allocations "promote programs that make fundamental changes in Israel; and the Israel agenda also engag- es people here. More than 1,000 Detroiters traveled to Israel last year." In response to a question about whether more could have been cut from the IOC budget to give more to agencies here, Lester responded that every elective pro- gram received a reduction this year and "our partners in Israel sharpened their pencils and even did their own fundrais- ing." He pointed out that Israel and over- seas needs have dropped over the years from their historic highs of more than 50 percent of the Annual Campaign's pro- Camp Numbers Fresh Air Society's Tamarack Camps, the Detroit Jewish community's summer overnight camping arm for children, has seen fairly steady enrollment over the last three summers. At the same time, however, the number of campers receiving financial assistance and the amount of assistance is steadily growing. That assistance is provided by the Jewish Federation's Annual Campaign. 16 July 22 2010 ceeds to about 33 percent this year. Bloom added that "one in three children in Israel live below the poverty level. I don't think we could have cut more without doing worse than what we are doing to ourselves." Scott Kaufman added, "We cut overseas more on a percentage basis and a dol- lar basis. But if we don't shore up local [needs], we won't be any good to Israel or anybody else." Lester concluded, "The reductions mean basic services will be cut. Smarter people than me will have to decide if we could have cut more." Campaign Progress Annual Campaign co-chair Terri Farber Roth told the boards that the solutions "to all of these illnesses is the Campaign." Tamarack's summer programs had 1,251 campers in 2008,1,218 in 2009, and 1,249 enrolled this year. Campers receiving financial assistance totaled 489 (averaging $1,913 each) in 2008, 510 ($2,193) in 2009, and 525 ($2,181) this year. Tamarack granted a total of $935,575 in financial assistance in 2008, $1,118,585 in 2009, and $1,145,224 this year. According to Jonah Geller, She said the current Annual Campaign would surpass its goals if it could average $900,000 per month in pledges for the remainder of 2010. She reported that the Campaign had 1,400 new gifts — a number achieved in the past only when Israel was at war. And she admonished the board members to begin completing their Campaign calls now and not wait until December. Federation President Nancy Grosfeld concluded the meeting by thanking the Jewish Fund ($652,000) and the Jewish Women's Foundation ($164,000) for their continuing support. The Jewish Fund was created by the 1997 sale of Sinai Hospital of Detroit. The Jewish Women's Foundation was created by local women 10 years ago. ❑ Tamarack Camps' executive director, the Federation allocation for 2009-10 is $537,000. But Tamarack will also receive $75,000 from Federation's emergency fund. That brings the total allocation to $612,000, "roughly 53 percent of the financial aid we will distribute to our camper families. Federation has also been helpful to Tamarack Camps in securing a major donation (anonymous) for the purposes of financial aid." ❑ Past & Future from page 15 Blumberg, Federation's director of planning and agency relations, said that "there are a lot of forces at work" not only to become more efficient, but also to increase the Annual Campaign. • Campaign volunteers are work- ing to reach more and younger donors. • Endowment marketing is stress- ing the opportunities available. • The Community Collaboration Initiative has seven committees studying agency efficiencies. • CommunityNEXT is providing "outstanding opportunities" for young adult engagement. • Federation's Israel agenda is being used to both help Israel and to bring the local Jewish commu- nity together. Said Bloom, "We're doing what the city of Detroit has refused to do for 15-20 years. And we are not doing it in a vacuum." Added Blumberg, "We are working this in a proactive way." "We are Detroit," said Neistein. We can do this. We are one of just a small handful of Jewish communi- ties around the country who can make this happen - there's a differ- ent dynamic here than elsewhere."
