The Teen Board is a project of The Jewish Fund. The Jewish Fund was
established in 1997 from the sale proceeds of Sinai Hospital to the Detroit
Medical Center. Sinai Hospital was a Jewish community funded facility
that grew into one of metropolitan Detroit’s top health care institutions.
As a legacy of Sinai Hospital, The Jewish Fund continues the tradition of
assuring quality and compassionate care for those in need in Metropolitan
Detroit through its grantmaking.

The Jewish Fund Teen Board is proud to be
a part of the Foundation Board Incubator,
a project of the Jewish Teen Funders
Network, which is generously funded by
Laura Lauder and the Maimonides Fund.
