Letter from Mayanard Wishner and Martin Kraar (New York, N.Y.) to Federation Presidents and Executives, February 4, 1994

February 4, 1994 TO: Federation Presidents and Executives FROM: Maynard I. Wishner, President Martin S. Kraar, Executive Vice President At the Board of Delegates meeting in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, and by satellite and conference call, the Federations overwhelmingly approved in principle the one-year collective funding of $850,000 in special grants for the support of Jewish university student services (1994-95). It further authorized CJF to develop appropriate future funding measures to adequately and equitably fund the college services operations for submission at the November General Assembly. The official resolutions as adopted are attached to this memo as is the specific dollar share being asked of each Federation. We refer you to the Task Force on Jewish University Student Services Interim Report for a complete presentation of the findings, conclusions and recommendations that were the basis for the action taken at the Board of Delegates meeting. While the action taken was in principle, we would hope that every Federation will act expeditiously to process the request within the next 60 days. This will permit the national Hillel system to continue its program which is primarily directed to campuses throughout the U.S. and avert the potential of major funding shortfalls. The funds requested will sustain the current level of services of the Hillel system. We urge your processing this request and speedy approval of the matter so that the funds will be available July 1, 1994. In addition to the funding measures, we draw your attention to a number of programmatic recommendations made by the Task Force and urge your full consideration and action to enable the vision to become reality. Please return the attached to the CJF office indicating where matters currently stand and whether CJF can be helpful to you in facilitating the process.
