I think these facts indicate I was more than fair, if fairness was due, to a lay and professional leadership of a community -- women and men who seem to not understand the meaning of "federation" whatsoever. I am sorry for those in a once great federation that was historically committed to doing the right thing for the Jewish People.RWEXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01583858140298821830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565163061165974643.post-81080452383742743722014-07-16T21:57:21.883-05:002014-07-16T21:57:21.883-05:00All local agencies received the same allocation wi...All local agencies received the same allocation with the exception of one agency who took a $10,000 cut over a principle matter. Federation overhead was not reduced. There was an almost $400,000 reduction to the campaign and 100% of that shortfall was deducted from the Overseas Core Allocation to JDC and JAFI. <br /><br />If that was not bad enough, a further $280,000 reduction was made to JDC and JAFI core for other programs .<br /><br />This was an over 50% reduction to JAFI and JDC.<br /><br />You want to be fair to Milwaukee?

I have no idea what the discussions were in the allocations meetings, but I feel pretty confident that they were serious and reflected a very painful balancing act of spreading a limited (and possibly declining) number of dollars over a number of worthwhile, and yes competing, needs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
