A very simple table will tell the same story even more profoundly. Why should the figure even be a net figure either for JFNA dues or for internal operations. Many, if not most federations, have funds over and above the annual campaign that can be used for allocations and operations. Who is to say that only the annual campaign funds operations?<br /><br />The table should have four columns. The year, how much was raised nationally in the annual campaign, how much was sent to JAFI, JDC and ORT including core and designated, and what percentage of the national campaign does that represent. JFNA certainly has all of this data.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565163061165974643.post-79572546844010355872009-12-21T16:58:38.518-06:002009-12-21T16:58:38.518-06:00Beyond advocacy communities must also be investing...Beyond advocacy communities must also be investing thoughtful time in "product" development and review -- putting some creative lay and professional talent and effort into substance and not simply the gimmicks of "sales" and marketing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565163061165974643.post-25359429139980750672009-12-21T13:18:41.555-06:002009-12-21T13:18:41.555-06:00While I don't disagree as to the concept of pu...While I don't disagree as to the concept of publishing the allocation levels, I think the 'net of JFNA dues' misses an important historical note. In the "good old days" the cost of UJA was never broken out and always included in the 'UJA allocation' amounts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
