FINANCIALS

JSSA’s Holocaust Survivor Program is largely funded by a generous grant from The Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany (Claims Conference), but the need for home care services to maintain the dignity and independence of the increasingly frail and aging survivor community exceeds even this significant funding.

JSSA’s ability to provide robust services and support to the men and women of our region who survived the Holocaust is dependent on the generosity of individual donors, the State of Maryland, the Commonwealth of Virginia, The Jewish Federation of Greater Washington, The Center on Holocaust Care and The Jewish Federations Institute on Aging and Trauma, and generous family foundations, including the Dr. Cyrus Katzen Foundation.

The $2.5 million Holocaust Survivor Community Fund raised by a group of caring and generous donors more than a decade ago, and housed at the Jewish Community Foundation, is almost depleted. Increased support from the Claims Conference and the generosity of individual philanthropists have enabled JSSA to stretch the fund many years beyond what was originally expected.

JSSA has also raised nearly $11.4 million in additional donations over the last eleven years from generous community members.

This year, the generosity of our community allowed JSSA to raise $200,000 from new and current supporters in response to a challenge grant from the Dr. Cyrus Katzen Foundation. The Foundation’s May 2021 matching grant gave JSSA two years to secure the necessary gifts. An outpouring of support resulted in meeting the entire match by December 2022, seven months before the deadline, for a total of $400,000 in new donations. Thank you to the Dr. Cyrus Katzen Foundation and our many caring contributors for your steadfast commitment to the care of our region’s Holocaust survivors.

Your ongoing support is essential—and deeply appreciated. Your generosity allows JSSA to help maintain the strength, dignity and resilience of our local survivor community while addressing survivors’ increasing needs as they age.

JSSA’s generous donors play an essential role in providing the highest quality of care and sustaining services that empower individuals and families in our community to improve their quality of life. Your support helps us nurture the physical health, mental health, and quality of life of Holocaust survivors as they age.

We extend our deepest appreciation to the many caring professionals who contribute pro bono services for neighbors who survived the Holocaust.

JSSA received funds from the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Holocaust Survivor Emergency Assistance Fund, administered by the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany for the benefit of Jewish Nazi victims.
