Israel Emergency Fund Allocation Report

The Greater Miami Jewish Federation has always been a strong supporter of collective action, including the allocation of resources through our JFNA national system. The majority of our Israel and Overseas allocation supports core funding of longtime, trusted overseas partners. A smaller percentage supports our partnership with the city of Yerucham in the Negev desert, women’s issues in Israel, the Ethiopian-Israeli community, emergency medical response, religious diversity, food insecurity, special needs in Israel, as well as other work in countries outside of Israel in the FSU and Latin America.
 
Federation has taken the same approach for the distribution of Israel Emergency Funds. We contribute our fair share to the efforts identified by the national Federation system and also fund initiatives that are important to our community. To help guide the process of allocating IEF dollars, an Israel Emergency Allocations Subcommittee has been charged with making funding recommendations for approval by the Israel and Overseas Committee and the Federation Board of Directors.
 
Since October 7, Yerucham has mobilized to take in hundreds of families displaced from the Gaza Envelope. With a number of army bases in the region, they are also caring for IDF active-duty and reserve soldiers. The Greater Miami Jewish Federation is providing direct allocations through the Israel Emergency Fund to the following initiatives:
