Abstract:

Since 1989, the Hartford federation experienced a precipitous decline in campaign resources; many members of the Jewish community suffered economic reversals. To keep the community not only alive but vibrant, the leadership had to make some hard decisions: they broadened the campaign base, altered the Israel-local agencies allocation ratio, revitalized the Young Leadership Council, encouraged agency fund raising within the federated concepts, and designated Jewish continuity as the single domestic priority.
