Jewish Federations, Welfare Funds,Community Councils

T H I S directory is one of a series compiled-*• annually by the Council of Jewish Fed-

erations and Welfare Funds. Virtually all ofthese community organizations are affiliatedwith the Council as their national associa-tion for sharing of common services, inter-change of experience, and joint consultationand action.

These communities comprise at least 95per cent of the Jewish population of theUnited States and about 90 per cent of theJewish population of Canada. Listed for eachcommunity is the local central agency—fed-eration, welfare fund, or community council—with its address and the names of the presi-dent and executive officer.

The names "federation," "welfare fund,"and "Jewish community council" are notdefinitive and their structures and functionsvary from city to city. What is called a fed-eration in one city, for example, may be

called a community council in another. In themain these central agencies have responsibil-ity for some or all of the following functions:(a) raising of funds for local, national, andoverseas services; (b) allocation and distri-bution of funds for these purposes; (c) co-ordination and central planning of local serv-ices, such as family welfare, child care, health,recreation, community relations within theJewish community and with the general com-munity, Jewish education, care of the aged,and vocational guidance, to strengthen theseservices, eliminate duplication, and fill gaps;(d) in small and some intermediate cities,direct administration of local social services.

In the directory, the following symbols areused:

(1) Member agency of the Council ofJewish Federations and Welfare Funds.

(2) Receives support from CommunityChest.
