shortfalls during these unprecedented
times. The emergency campaign is
designed to provide a lifeline of triage
funding during this ever-evolving
crisis to 70 local Jewish organizations.
Feist explained that if donors give
just 10% over and above their annual
campaign gift, the Federation will
reach the goal of raising $ 1 million for
the Emergency Lifeline Campaign.
“By giving above and beyond to the
Emergency Lifeline Campaign, the
community can and will support each
of these organizations, to help sustain
them in the midst of the situation,”
Feist said.
Each of the organizations applying
for these special grants are doing so,
after exhausting all other federal, state
and local funding opportunities.
The Emergency Lifeline Campaign
is in addition to the emergency grants
provided by a collaborative effort
— The Emergency Crisis Fund —
between the Jewish Federation of
Greater Dallas and the Dallas Jewish
“It is our hope that the community
will see, now more than ever, the
importance their dollars play in
maintaining a vibrant Jewish
Dallas by giving to the 2020 Annual
Campaign so that the organizations
who do the amazing work in, and
for our community will continue to
do so on the other side of this crisis,”
said Mariam Shpeen Feist, Federation
president & CEO.
Partner agencies and organizations
urged the Federation to resume the
Annual Campaign.
The Federation has simultaneously
launched and opened an Emergency
Lifeline Campaign with a goal of
raising $1 million dollars to assist
its community partner agencies,
synagogues, schools and other Jewish
community organizations with
their immediate financial needs and
DALLAS - After a brief hiatus of its
fundraising efforts due to the new
coronovirus crisis, The Jewish Fed-
eration of Greater Dallas has restarted
fundraising efforts toward its 2020
Annual Campaign.
Three weeks ago the Federation
put its campaign on hiatus as the
COVID-19 pandemic began to unfold.
It quickly convened a Health Crisis
Management Team — made-up of
professional leaders representing the
largest social service agencies serving
the most vulnerable, the day schools,
Orthodox Synagogue Association
and Rabbinic Association of Greater
Dallas
Without the core funding and
grants from the Federation, its more
than 80 partner agencies throughout
Dallas, Israel and around the world
could remain in crisis even after the
quarantine is lifted and the pandemic
has ended.
Thus, the annual campaign has
relaunched.
Foundation have an extensive reach
through their networks of community
agencies, synagogues and related
organizations, and are uniquely
positioned to map and manage overall
communal needs.
“The Dallas Jewish Community
Foundation is here to help our
community partners in these times
of great need. We look forward to
partnering with the Jewish Federation
of Greater Dallas to get money to those
agencies most in need right now,” said
Andy Dropkin, Board Chair, Dallas
Jewish Community Foundation.
Community Foundation announced
last week (see story below).
“The opportunity to give to each
of the two campaigns is tikkun
olam at its best,” said Feist. “It will
help the Federation meet the $10.3
million goal we set out to achieve
at the beginning of our campaign
year. With only $3.2 million to go,
it is the power of the collective,’ that
will allow the Federation’s partner
agencies to safeguard and protect the
most vulnerable populations, today,
tomorrow and when this crisis is
behind us.”
She concluded, “The Federation
stands ready to put these dollars to
work through our partner agencies.
We are confident that the Dallas
Jewish community will emerge from
this crisis stronger than ever before.”
