Annual Report to the Community

2014-2015
Annual Report
to the Community
A MESSAGE FROM THE
BOARD CHAIR AND
PRESIDENT & CEO
Decade after decade, over centuries
and millennia, Jews around the world
have embraced the blessing and the
responsibility of caring for one another.
Today, the Milwaukee Jewish Federation
is our community’s way of continuing this
tradition. It’s our communal response to
both the everyday and the extraordinary
needs of Jews in Milwaukee, in Israel and
in 70 countries around the world.
ANNUAL REPORT 2014 -2015
In 2014-15, we made great strides in developing the financial resources
that will sustain our work. We’re pleased to report that our donors
invested $5.9 million in our 2015 Annual Campaign, a 3% increase
over the previous year, after a multi-year downward trend in campaign
achievement. Our donors see the value in our work, and it shows in
their giving.
We also made a giant step forward in building our Jewish Community
Foundation, which now has $165 million in total assets. Through our
Create a Jewish Legacy program, we secured 365 commitments for
after lifetime “legacy” gifts with an estimated value of $8.7 million.
We are following the ancient tradition among Jews of responding to
need by saying, "Hineni: I am here. I am ready to do what is asked of me."
This Annual Report tells the story of an extraordinarily generous
community that distributed $19.6 million in support to nonprofits
through the Milwaukee Jewish Federation and our Jewish Community
Foundation. It’s a community to whom we owe our deepest gratitude.

WHO WE ARE
The Milwaukee Jewish Federation changes lives. We
are part of a network of Jewish Federations across the
United States and Canada that collectively is among
the top 10 charities in the world. Our movement raises
and distributes more than $4 billion annually for social
welfare, social services and educational needs, and
protects and enhances the well-being of Jews worldwide.
Locally we identify, support and address the full range of
programs that sustain the Jewish community today and
for future generations.
We are thousands of Milwaukeeans who contribute time
and financial resources that, combined with the resources
of other Federations and our partner agencies, make
an impact none of us can make alone. It’s the power of
collective action, and it’s what the Federation is all about.

JEWISH LIFE
I am a new mom, a designer, a museum
educator, and a participant in Shalom
Baby, a program of the Milwaukee Jewish
Federation. I grew up in Miami and married
a Milwaukee native. Shalom Baby has been
an avenue for me to get to know other
young Jewish families in Milwaukee. Like
many Federation programs, Shalom Baby
is able to help fill in the gaps between the
dynamic synagogue and neighborhood
communities in Milwaukee.
– Lizzie Katz
HINENI
I AM
HERE
I am a kids’ baseball coach, a Packers,
Bucks and Brewers fan, a member of the
Milwaukee Jewish Federation’s board of
directors, and an advocate for the LGBT
community. My transgender sister, Lauren
Arnold, recently tragically passed away the
day before Milwaukee’s Pridefest. The Jewish
Federation sponsored a booth which gave
me the unbelievable opportunity to volunteer
there. I had the great fortune to meet some
incredible Jewish gay and transgender
people who were so proud to be welcomed
in by the Jewish community. The Milwaukee
Jewish Federation is doing an incredible job
to help make Milwaukee a more inclusive
place for everyone to be Jewish.
– Brent Arnold

I am a library lover, an arts enthusiast, a champion
of things I believe in, and the founding president
of Jewish Museum Milwaukee, a program of the
Milwaukee Jewish Federation, where we cultivate
awareness of Jews and our history. The Stitching
History From the Holocaust exhibit helped
educate the Jewish and non-Jewish communities
about the Holocaust and what it means to be
a Jew. We collaborated with the Milwaukee
Repertory Theater, the Milwaukee Art Museum,
the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and the
Haggerty Museum of Art, building a network
between the Jewish community and the rest of
the city. It was a remarkable opportunity for the
entire community to benefit from the work of
Jewish Museum Milwaukee.
– Marianne Lubar
I AM
READY.
I am a physics major, a kick boxer, the CEO
of my own startup and an advocate for
Israel, thanks to advocacy training by the
Federation’s Jewish Community Relations
Council. I’m concerned about the heavy
anti-Israel sentiment on many college campuses.
The JCRC helps teens like me learn to speak
up for Israel before we even step foot on a
college campus. I’ve developed the skills and
knowledge to have fact-based discussions
about Israel. Now I can help educate people
who don’t know a lot and help people who
don’t care about supporting Israel become
more passionate.
– Rebecca Perl

JEWISH LIFE
I am a sophomore at Homestead High
School, a curler, a member of Eden (BBYO
chapter), and a recipient of a scholarship from
the Milwaukee Jewish Federation’s Jewish
Community Foundation. My scholarship
made it possible for me to attend the BBYO
Chapter Leadership Training Conference,
which helped me develop my leadership
skills and reinforced my passion for Judaism.
The Shabbat and Havdalah services at CLTC
were some of the best experiences of my
life. Singing and hanging out with people
I just met but are just like me reinforced
why Jewish traditions are so important. I’m
grateful for the scholarship because I know
it changed my life.
– Emma Rachum
HINENI
I AM
HERE
I am a journalist, a lawyer, a new insurance
agent, and a participant in Shalom Milwaukee,
a program of the Milwaukee Jewish
Federation. My fiancée and I moved to town
without having any friends or family here.
Shalom Milwaukee helped introduce us to
the Jewish community. The Federation made
a point to reach out to us, bring us to events,
and put us in touch with other people so
we could build a network of friends. This
program helps young professionals in the city
and new arrivals realize there’s more to the
Jewish world than your parents’ synagogue.
– Matt Taub
I AM
READY.

JEWISH LIFE
OUR PROMISE
We are committed to building vibrant Jewish communities, to strengthening Jewish life,
and to connecting people of all ages to Jewish experiences and to each other.
OUR WORK
A vibrant Jewish community is made of committed, passionate Jews. We foster Jewish
identity and connections through education, camping, youth groups and social action.
Together with our network of agencies, we are creating a community that is welcoming
to all and that responds to each individual's search for Jewish meaning.
OUR IMPACT
The Milwaukee Jewish Federation fosters a love of Jewish life beginning at birth
through our Shalom Baby program and through the preschools we support – Gam Ami
and Jewish Beginnings Lubavitch Preschool. Many of these children go on to Hillel
Academy, the Milwaukee Jewish Day School and Yeshiva Elementary School, each of
which is a partner agency of the Milwaukee Jewish Federation. In total, our partners
educated more than 850 children last year.
Not only did we educate students, we also taught their teachers through our Coalition
for Jewish Learning. Our workshops are free, and we even pay a stipend for the
teachers’ time.
We strengthen Jewish connections through our support of BBYO-Wisconsin Region,
which enhances Jewish identity and builds leadership skills for 500 teens and pre-teens.
With the help of Federation funding, Hillel Milwaukee and Hillel Foundation-Madison
provide a Jewish home away from home, helping to strengthen college students'
Jewish identity. Our campus Hillels connected Jews to one another through cultural and
educational activities like building sukkahs and enjoying more than 8,500
Shabbat meals.
We will support and strengthen Jewish life wherever Jews live around the world.

CRISIS RELIEF
HINENI
I AM HERE
I AM READY.
I am a hiker, a dog lover, the Israel Campus Fellow in Milwaukee, and a
beneficiary of the Jewish Agency for Israel, which is supported by the
Milwaukee Jewish Federation. During the second war in Gaza, a bomb
landed on my family’s home in Kibbutz Reim, completely destroying the
building. My mother, by a miracle, escaped without being injured. Just
two days after the bombing, a JAFI representative came to the house with
a check to help pay for rebuilding. JAFI also provided trauma support to
people like my mother who were affected by the conflict. She went through
a long process, and we are grateful for the help of JAFI.
– Shay Yoos

CRISIS RELIEF
OUR PROMISE
The Milwaukee Jewish Federation is there in times of crisis when you need us
most. We provide a lifeline for Jews and non-Jews in distress here at home, in
Israel and across the globe. Whether it’s missiles raining down on Israel’s south, a
violent conflict in Ukraine, Hurricane Sandy on the East Coast or an earthquake in
Nepal, Federation is there to help.
OUR WORK
Our network of local and international partners enables us to respond quickly
and effectively. We fund urgently needed basics like food and medicine,
and long-term needs like trauma counseling. And we provide resources to
emergency service providers so they can help where they’re most needed.
OUR IMPACT
Milwaukee contributed more than $200,000 to the $55 million raised by
Federations during Operation Protective Edge in 2014. These funds provide
trauma support for Israel’s most vulnerable citizens, aid lone soldiers, and offer
respite to people living in the conflict zones.
In Ukraine, where the lives of more than 30,000 elderly Jews and 4,600 children
have been disrupted by conflict, we’re delivering food and medicine, sheltering
displaced people, and expediting aliyah for those who want to move to Israel.
Immediately after the earthquake in Nepal, we helped bring an expert disaster
response team to provide immediate relief and assess ongoing needs.
We are always there, no matter what.

ISR AEL CONNEC TION
HINENI
I AM HERE
I AM READY.
I am a baseball lover, a fan of pop culture, a native New Yorker, and a
participant in a Taglit-Birthright Israel trip. The trip gave me a chance to
connect with people my age with similar backgrounds and reaffirmed that
it’s okay to be a secular Jew. I felt what it’s like to be in a place where I’m not
a minority, where I have a common connection with people who are so far
away but still like me. I left with a greater appreciation of Israel’s proximity
to other countries, of what Israelis go through on a daily basis, and of the
incredibly unique land and culture.
– Zach Weber
10
ISRAEL CONNECTION
OUR PROMISE
We helped build Israel. Today we help keep it strong. We are
dedicated to supporting Israelis in need of assistance – every day
and during times of crisis. And we work tirelessly to deepen connections
between the Jewish State and the Milwaukee Jewish community.
OUR WORK
Our financial support ensures the strength of our overseas partners who are hard
at work supporting Israelis every day. When Israel is in crisis, we mobilize our
networks at home and overseas to come immediately to her aid. We also cultivate
a love for our Jewish homeland through programs that bring Israel to life for
Milwaukee children and adults.
OUR IMPACT
During Operation Protective Edge, we raised emergency funds to support the
urgent needs of Israelis living in the conflict zones. We brought together 700
Milwaukeeans at our Israel Solidarity Gathering where we demonstrated our
unwavering support for the people of Israel.
Our Israel Center engaged nearly 2,000 participants in Israel programming in
Milwaukee including cultural events like screenings of Israeli films and a concert
with an Israeli rock star. We helped create one-to-one connections through our
Shlichim (Israeli emissaries), our Shin Shinim (young Israeli emissaries) and our
Israel Campus Fellow who bring Israel to Milwaukee. And we showed the greater
Milwaukee community a different picture of Israel through delegations of Israeli
chefs and medical clowns, organized by Partnership2Gether.
We helped send young adults to life-changing Taglit-Birthright Israel trips, and
we helped millions of immigrants move to Israel and start new lives — 26,000 in
the past year alone.
Our support of Israel is resolute, as is our commitment to cultivating a love of Israel
among Milwaukee Jews.

SAFET Y NET
HINENI
I AM HERE
I AM READY.
I am a former English teacher, a classical guitarist, a poet, a resident
of Tbilisi, Georgia in the former Soviet Union, and a beneficiary of the
American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, which is supported by
the Milwaukee Jewish Federation. I experienced a bitter divorce from an
abusive husband. It ruined me financially, and my life took a downward
turn. I have several serious illnesses, and I am nearly blind from cataracts.
I can no longer leave my home. Through the JDC Hesed program, I receive
help with bathing, laundry and housekeeping. I receive a hot meal every
day and groceries each week. My JDC case worker is usually the only
visitor I have. She keeps me connected to the world. — Irina Davidovskaya
12
SAFETY NET
OUR PROMISE
We support one of the largest, strongest and most enduring networks
of social services in North America, providing care that changes lives.
OUR WORK
We fund skilled providers who expertly care for homebound seniors and for
people of all ages with disabilities, counselors who help troubled families
overcome difficulties, and programs that help struggling adults put food on their
tables and pay their rent. We deliver critical aid to vulnerable populations — older
adults, individuals with disabilities, at-risk children, impoverished families —
during times of peace and times of conflict.
OUR IMPACT
Locally, funds raised through the Milwaukee Jewish Federation helped provide
counseling to nearly 1,000 individuals through Jewish Family Services and served
more than 27,000 clients at the Jewish Community Food Pantry operated by the
Harry & Rose Samson Family Jewish Community Center.
We distributed over $600,000 in scholarships to make day schools, camp and
other Jewish programs more accessible and inclusive.
In Madison and in Washington, D.C., we’re a powerful advocate for policy
changes and reforms that improve quality of life and services for the most
vulnerable. We work to ensure that older adults and individuals with disabilities
have adequate resources.
With our help, more than 160,000 seniors and thousands of at-risk families in the
former Soviet Union — among the poorest Jews in the world — have enough food
for dinner and heat during brutal winters.
In South America, where the ongoing economic crisis has hit the Jewish
community hard, we make sure thousands of struggling parents have baby
formula and diapers for their infants, and help buying groceries.
We are a source of comfort and care for Jews in need everywhere.

JEWISH LE ADERSHIP
HINENI
I AM HERE
I AM READY.
I am a stay-at-home mom, an architect by training, a fan of fitness classes,
and a member of the boards of Congregation Shalom, the Harry & Rose
Samson Family Jewish Community Center, and Women’s Philanthropy
of the Milwaukee Jewish Federation. The Federation helped develop my
leadership skills through the George Weinstein Fellowship and the Women’s
Philanthropy mentorship program. The Weinstein Fellowship helped me
understand the landscape of the local Jewish community, and my mentor
helped me learn how I can make an impact.
— Tami Kent
14
JEWISH LEADERSHIP
OUR PROMISE
We help secure the Jewish future by empowering community members to take
charge of their Jewish lives and provide leadership to their community. For some
this means sharing time and talents to shape current programs and future plans.
For others, it’s learning how to become informed philanthropists who can invest
in meeting the needs of our community today and tomorrow.
HOW WE HELP
We provide formal and informal opportunities for leadership development
among Jews from school-age children to adults.
OUR IMPACT
Our Weinstein Young Leadership program provides formal and experiential
leadership training to young adults, culminating in a mission to Israel. These
young adults go on to become leaders, serving on boards of local agencies,
synagogues and day schools.
Our Women’s Philanthropy program helps engage and educate women about
philanthropy. They develop the skills and knowledge that help them take on
some of the most prominent leadership positions in the Jewish community locally
and nationally.
Our Jewish day school partners instill a love of Jewish community in our
youngest children. BBYO-Wisconsin Region enhances these passions and
begins to develop teens’ leadership skills. And together, Hillel Milwaukee, Hillel
Foundation-Madison and the Milwaukee Jewish Federation’s Jewish Community
Relations Council help college students become educated and skilled advocates
for themselves, for Israel and for the Jewish community.
We engage Jewish leaders and help them turn their Jewish values into action.

FINANCIAL RESOURCES
HINENI
I AM HERE
I AM READY.
16
I am an amateur carpenter, a baseball
fan, a native of Brooklyn, and the holder
of a Donor Advised Fund at the Jewish
Community Foundation of the Milwaukee
Jewish Federation. When you have enough,
you give the rest away. That’s what my father
taught me. It’s not my style to have a yacht
or an airplane. I love Milwaukee and want
to contribute to the city. A Donor Advised
Fund makes it easy to make gifts to Jewish
and community organizations. I chose to
create my fund at the Jewish Community
Foundation because I’m Jewish. It was the
obvious choice.
– Dr. Paul Jacobs
FINANCIAL RESOURCES
Our work is powered by financial resources that we develop to fund our own
programs and those of our local and global partners. We raise funds through
our Annual Campaign, emergency campaigns, special programs and business
partner initiatives.
JEWISH COMMUNITY FOUNDATION
The Jewish Community Foundation of the Milwaukee Jewish Federation builds
security for the future by helping individuals and families create planned gifts
and endowments. It also provides financial support today by matching donors
with opportunities for charitable giving.
$165,317,475 total assets
$28,053,521 contributions received
$10,985,560 distributed
777 funds
3,364 grants made
900 charities supported
Create a Jewish Legacy
In 2014-15, the Foundation completed the first year of Create a Jewish Legacy,
a program that helps donors create legacy gifts, providing a permanent
source of support for the Jewish causes they care about. The program, which
is spearheaded by the Foundation, works in partnership with area synagogues,
agencies and day schools. It’s founded on the principle that all of us, regardless
of age, wealth or affiliation, can make an enduring financial impact.
365 legacy commitments
$8,700,000 in future gifts
ANNUAL CAMPAIGN
The Milwaukee Jewish Federation’s Annual Campaign raises critical funds that
are distributed to our partner agencies, locally and in Israel, and to Federation
programs and services. These funds are especially valuable because they are
unrestricted, allowing each recipient agency to use the dollars where they are
needed most.
Our donors invested $5.9 million in our 2015 Annual Campaign, an increase of
3% over the previous year. This increase demonstrates that the Federation is
making an impact that our donors value.

MISSION
Through the development of community wide
financial support, planning and allocations, the
mission of the Milwaukee Jewish Federation is
to ensure the continuity of the Jewish People,
to enhance the quality of Jewish life, and to
build a strong and unified Jewish community
in Milwaukee, in Israel and around the world.
In fulfilling its mission, the Federation is
committed to the principles of Klal Yisrael (the
collective unity of the Jewish people), Tzedakah
(the obligation to care for one another) and
Tikkun Olam (improving the world in which
we live).
