DIRECTORY OF JEWISH FEDERATIONSAND WELFARE FUNDS, 1936

Prepared by

COUNCIL OF JEWISH FEDERATIONS AND WELFARE FUNDS

INTRODUCTION

During the past forty years, American Jews have devel-oped three forms of community-wide organizations concernedwith Jewish social welfare problems and needs. These are:the Federation of Jewish Charities, the Jewish Welfare Fundand the Jewish Community Council.

The first and best known of the three, Federation, wasoriginally formed for the more efficient collection and dis-tribution of funds for various philanthropic purposes. Inthe course of its development, however, it assumed otherfunctions, notably the coordination and planning of thecommunity's social service programs. This was particularlytrue in the larger centers of Jewish population. Today, veryfew communities with a substantial Jewish population arewithout a Federation.

With the growth of city-wide,- non-sectarian CommunityChests, most of the Jewish Federations became an integralpart of these central fund-raising efforts in their cities. Theaffiliation of the Federation with the Community Chestmade it necessary to devise some form of organization forthe support of Jewish cultural activities and for non-localcauses. As a result, there has been created during the pastten years, either as a constituent of Federation, or as aseparate and distinct organization, the Jewish Welfare Fund.Welfare Funds generally conduct annual campaigns for thesupport of non-local agencies and of special Jewish localservices, including Jewish education.

The Jewish Community Council, of more recent origin,is still in an experimental stage. Its general purpose is tobring together, on a democratic basis, the community'scivic, philanthropic, religious, educational and social inter-ests, primarily for consultative purposes.

513


The Directory which follows includes the first two typesof community organization. Jewish Community Councilsare listed only for those cities where they act as sponsorsfor the Welfare Fund. There are also included in the Direc-tory a number of organizations which are primarily familywelfare agencies. They are listed because they are the mostinclusive social welfare agencies in their respective communi-ties and because in most instances, they are taking theinitiative in the organization of a community-wide programof Jewish social welfare.

Roughly, the 143 agencies listed divide themselves asfollows:

Federations 36Welfare Funds 49Federations with Welfare Fund functions 32Primarily family welfare agencies 26

143Federations (including those described as primarily family

welfare agencies) and Welfare Funds are to be found in 118cities, located in 36 states, the District of Columbia andCanada.

Sixty-three of the Federations (not including the 49 Wel-fare Funds) are affiliated with Community Chests; 22 areunamliated and 9 operate in cities without Chests.

The chronological growth of Federations and WelfareFunds is indicated in the following:

Year Established1890 - 19001901 - 19101911 - 19201921 - 19301931 - 1936

No. of Agencies714273648

132*Practically all the agencies organized since 1930, and a

good many of those established in the period 1925-1930,are Welfare Funds. The period of Federation growth

* Information on the year of organization is lacking for 11 agencies.

FEDERATIONS AND WELFARE FUNDS 515

extended from the turn of the century to about 1920, whenmost of the larger cities had federated.

It should be added that a number of the newer agencies,particularly those functioning in small Jewish communities,have as yet given insufficient proof of their stability ascommunity-wide organizations. Their development alongsound lines, however, has been considerably advanced bythe organization of Regional Conferences, sponsored by theCouncil, which afford the organized as well as unorganizedcommunities an opportunity to pool their experiences andresources.

The inclusion of an agency in the Directory does not, ofcourse, carry with it an endorsement of its efficacy. Anumber of organizations, on which insufficient informationis available, have been excluded from this edition. As thisgoes to press word has been received of the formation ofWelfare Funds in the following cities: Charleston, W. Va.,Duluth, Minn., Phoenix, Ariz., and Toledo, Ohio.

The information in the Directory, unless otherwise indi-cated, is as of the spring of 1936.

Jewish population figures are from the American JewishYear Book, 1935-1936, except in those instances where localestimates have been made by the organizations listed.
