Jewish Federations,Welfare Funds,

Community Councils

IHIS directory is one of a series compiledannually by the Council of Jewish Federa-tions and Welfare Funds. Virtually all ofthese community organizations are affiliatedwith the Council as their national associationfor sharing of common services, interchangeof experience, and joint consultation and ac-tion.

These communities comprise at least 95 percent of the Jewish population of the UnitedStates and about 90 per cent of the Jewish popu-lation of Canada. Listed for each community isthe local central agency—federation, welfarefund, or community council—with its addressand the names of the president and executiveofficer.

The names "federation," "welfare fund,"and "Jewish community council" are not defi-nitive and their structures and functions varyfrom city to city. What is called a federation inone city, for example, may be called a commu-nity council in another. In the main these cen-

tral agencies have responsibility for some or allof the following functions: (a) raising of fundsfor local, national, and overseas services; (b) al-location and distribution of funds for these pur-poses; (c) coordination and central planning oflocal services, such as family welfare, childcare, health, recreation, community relationswithin the Jewish community and with thegeneral community, Jewish education, care ofthe aged, and vocational guidance; tostrengthen these services, eliminate duplica-tion, and fill gaps; (d) in small and some inter-mediate cities, direct administration of localsocial services.

In the directory, the following symbols areused:
