The Jewish Board is proud to be one of more than 100 beneficiary agencies in the UJA-Federation of New York network, standing with other human service agencies, camps, centers, organizations, and
local communities.
We receive a large sustaining block grant from the UJA-Federation of New York as well as financial support for specific initiatives. Our UJA-Federation partnership provides educational symposiums
for our trustees and staff.
Altogether, these help us serve our clients and increase our
network with other agencies that face similar challenges.
