UPDATE FROM JEWISH FEDERATION IN THE HEART OF NJ • SUMMER 2022 SERVING MONMOUTH & GREATER MIDDLESEX COUNTIES
Dear Friends and Supporters, Trees shade us from the hot summer sun. They make our air healthier to breathe and the ground beneath us more stable. Playmates and beautifiers, providers of food and habitats, trees are multi-taskers, sure and strong — not unlike Jewish Federation. Considering the many critical ways in which Federation bolsters our community’s ability to care for those in need, inspire and empower young people to build a bright Jewish future, and partner with peace-minded allies to protect against manifestations of antisemitism, it is no wonder you choose to plant seeds for a better world through your valued Federation contributions. We are pleased to shed light on the work your support makes possible and THANK YOU for investing in the many ways we make a difference together. To our strong and beautiful Jewish community, Susan Antman Executive Director
Cheryl Markbreiter President
YOUR DOLLAR BUYS MORE THAN A DOLLAR OF IMPACT
Giving to Jewish Federation’s Annual Campaign does more than pass donations through to beneficiaries. Federation pools and leverages your dollars to multiply the impact you make across multiple fronts. While the true return on saving lives, providing hope, and catalyzing positive change for today and tomorrow cannot be measured in dollars, Federation donors can be sure their contributions often generate as much as 10, 20, 30 times or more of their dollar value in programs, services, resources, and impact. For example: INVESTED GENERATED $ 270,000 $9M in security upgrades $ 650,000 $16.5M in legacy gifts for 10+ organizations $ 00 5,000 $100K matching funds for Holocaust survivors $250K to fill shortfall in Holocaust survivor aid $ 25,000 $3M+ in PJ Library books & programs $ 431,000 $2.5M endowment securing PJ Library $ 20,000
