Abstract:

Federations now realize that is is no longer possible to do business as usual in the allocation of funds. Conditions and the growing fiscal stringency requires new approaches, more thinking and planning and an awareness of the need to be less reactive and more assertive. The Federation is the closest thing we have to an organized Jewish community, and as such, it has the responsibility to insure the creative survival of that community. Creative survival must be converted from an abstraction to concrete programs.
