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.

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.

to the members of The Jewish Fund Teen Board 2021-2022, a diverse group of Jewish teens 
who have deepened their engagement within our community through learning 
of communal needs and responding through philanthropic grantmaking.
