Hand in Hand has created a network of integrated schools and communities in Israel, serving Arab and Jewish children, families and the wider community. Today, Hand in Hand has six schools across Israel with over 2,000 Jewish and Arab students enrolle
Hand in Hand fosters friendship, cooperation and empathy between Jews and Arabs through integrated schools and communities. Thousands of Arab and Jewish children and adults take part in our work. Together, we advance equality and the conditions for a shared society. A full 22% of Israeli citizens are Arab and approximately 75% are Jewish. Yet these two communities lead highly separate and segregated lives, and over 99% of Jewish and Arab children in Israel study in separate schools. Research shows that prejudice and socialization toward conflict begin as early as 2 years of age. Israel's divided education system helps perpetuate the existing prejudice and alienation between Arabs and Jews. Even Israel's State Comptroller has criticized the harmful effects of this institutionalized separation; yet it persists as the longstanding norm. Hand in Hand pioneers a transformational alternative through integrated, bilingual schools for Jewish and Arab students. Our network of six schools reaches over 2,000 students from diverse communities across the country. Each of these schools is bolstered by a vibrant, multicultural adult community around it and by partnerships with municipal and national government that expand its impact beyond the school walls. Over 3,000 Jewish and Arab adults are engaged in our joint community programs.

Financial aid to participate in summer camp and other BB360 experiences!
Help children have life-changing, immersive Jewish experiences at our overnight camp on the Oregon Coast and our many day camps throughout Oregon. Every year BB360 awards approximately $250,000 in financial aid, and the need/request for financial aid outweighs what the agency can offer. We are so grateful for every dollar that directly supports families in sending their kids to camp!

Lincoln County Services Program
Since 2006, BB Camp has operated a nonsectarian day camp program alongside our Jewish overnight camp on the Oregon Coast, providing local children the opportunity to participate in summer fun, growth, exploration, and discovery. The program has served over 5,000 local children and continues to expand with year-round engagement opportunities on non-school days. The program provides a direct, positive encounter with Jewish community values of tzedakah (justice) and tikkun olam (repairing the world). In addition to the quality childcare and youth development our Lincoln County Day Camp provides, combatting hunger and food insecurity throughout the region is central to our work. The program makes a significant community impact, delivering hundreds of meals weekly to shelters, low-income apartment complexes, local schools, and other designated sites. As we stand united in the fight against hunger, BB360 remains steadfast in our commitment to nourishing bodies and uplifting spirits.

Camp Solomon Schechter immerses youth in Jewish rituals and identity, balancing learning with living Jewish principles. Our new project-based program deepens campers' connection to Jewish history.
Jewish summer camp is a magical place where youth can immerse themselves in their Jewish identity and rituals. At Camp Solomon Schechter, we prioritize Jewish rituals by practicing what we teach. Campers don't just learn about keeping kosher—they live it. They don't just learn about challah—they braid it, bake it, and enjoy it together. Here, Jewish principles are not only understood but truly lived. Recognizing the importance of balancing Jewish living with acquiring knowledge, we are introducing a transformative project-based learning initiative as part of our camp experience. In this program, campers will explore the rich timeline of Jewish history and update the Beit Knesset timeline. Each cabin will delve into a specific period in Jewish history, gaining in-depth understanding while creating their interactive segment of the timeline. The project will culminate in a camp-wide unveiling of the updated timeline, fostering active engagement and a profound connection to their heritage. To make this enriching experience accessible to more Jewish youth, we are offering scholarships for underprivileged children to attend camp. We seek your support to provide these opportunities and ensure more children can connect deeply with their Jewish roots.

Jewish Special Needs Retreat is a place for families to experience the magic of outdoor camp while enhancing Jewish identity and teaching Jewish values.
Children with special needs are rarely able to attend an outdoor summer camp, and Jewish children, in particular, are often unengaged and underrepresented. At Camp Solomon Schechter, we believe that all Jewish children benefit from the Jewish Camp Experience. Our weekend long, Jewish Special Needs Retreat will include activities such as: exploring Israeli music and dance, tefillah and Shira, athletics and art. Daily study sessions for parents will be offered to explore a variety of issues surrounding raising Jewish children with special needs. Each family will stay in a cabin that includes private bathrooms with showers. Camp Solomon Schechter is looking to secure funds to offset the expense of conducting a Special Needs Retreat, allowing us to keep the costs to the participants low, encouraging more families to participate. Funds provided will help us purchase supplies for activities, offer kosher food during the weekend-long retreat, bring in a contract mental health worker to help lead support sessions for parents and market the retreat to reach a broader Jewish audience.

Increased Safety/Health for Adult Kehillah Residents with Disabilities (fob key system, and new paint/flooring for 10-year-old building)
Robison Jewish Home's Kehillah Housing provides a home for adults with special needs. The Section 8 housing allows adults with special needs of all faiths and backgrounds to live with comfort, independence, and dignity, in the tradition of Jewish values. Inclusion in the community is a focus, with support for employment and social activities. Several Kehillah residents work and/or volunteer at next-door Cedar Sinai Park. "One of my best decisions was living at Kehillah," says one resident. "I think being amongst a community that's full of good vibes and love is really big. It makes things easy. And my parents can tell I'm happy, and they are truly indebted to this place."

OJCF Community Needs Catalog
An important aspect of healthy aging is outdoor space for regular movement. Our Al Lewin Legacy Trail, which opened on campus in 2006, is that place. Our ½ mile paved trail is ideal for the seniors who live with us, whether they can walk on their own, push themselves through the forest with a walker, or are in a wheelchair navigated by their family or staff. The trail is accessible to our employees, many of whom utilize the path daily on their break, and the space is open to neighbors, bringing community together. We respectfully request assistance with phase two of the trails' restoration. The handrails are broken in many places, making it difficult for folks who need help with balance. The six motivational signs along the path are faded and cracked. The beautiful wooden gazebo at the end of our trail is covered in graffiti. The trees need their ivy pulled so they do not die, and we need an annual crew of goats to go in and clear dead branches that could be a fire hazard. In a few spots along the paved trail, tree roots have burst through the cement, and need to be removed with the path smoothed again.

Gan Preschool - Scholarship Fund: Plant for the future!
Preschool tuitions are staggering nationwide, creating a significant financial burden for many families. That is why preschool tuition aid is so critical. Unfortunately, it is also an incredibly underfunded area. The Gan Preschool is committed to providing scholarships to families in need, but the demand for these scholarships far outweighs the resources available. When a family joins the Gan Preschool, they become part of more than just a school; they join a community. The teachers, staff, and families all work together to create a warm and supportive environment for the children. The school's emphasis on Jewish values and traditions helps to instill a sense of identity and belonging in the children. When you provide tuition aid to a preschooler, you are not only welcoming a child to Jewish education, you are welcoming a young family to the Jewish community.

Gan Preschool Security Fund
In 2024, it is a sad reality that Jewish children in the United States need protection when attending Jewish preschools. The Gan Preschool serves 49 children aged 12 months to 5 years from diverse Jewish families. Currently, we employ a part-time security guard, funded by parent tuition and community contributions. However, we need additional funding to sustain this essential service. Our primary goal is to ensure the safety of our children, providing parents and staff with peace of mind knowing there is an onsite security officer

Congregation Ahavath Achim's goal is to be the cornerstone of the community, enriched with the rich traditions of Sephardic heritage.
Our grant appeal emphasizes Congregation Ahavath Achim's unique status as the sole authentic Sephardic congregation in Portland, with a history spanning over 100 years. As an active organization, we make significant contributions to the community through events, Shabbat meals, a Sephardic film festival, weekly Shabbat services, and authentic holiday celebrations. Hosting a Sephardic rabbi in Portland further solidifies our cultural and religious presence. Beyond these endeavors, we are dedicated to combating antisemitism through our existence and active engagement. The support we seek is crucial for preserving our congregation. This assistance will not only safeguard our rich heritage but also empower us to actively engage in the ongoing fight against antisemitism. Your support enables us to foster a resilient, united community that stands against discrimination, ensuring a lasting impact for generations to come. The support will not only bolster our general budget but also enable the expansion of community programming. Our vision includes the addition of quarterly lunch and learns, a Saturday Havdalah program, and more. Building on the success of our Shabbat dinners, we recognize that offering diverse activities alongside Shabbat enhances community participation and fosters a welcoming atmosphere.

We are seeking funds to initiate a Havdalah program, enhancing community engagement with a meaningful Shabbat closing experience.
As a minority within a minority, and recognizing our limited participation, we aim to start an alternative program to our regular Shabbat services. Inspired by the success of our Shabbat Dinner program and the Sephardic Winter Film Festival, this new initiative will offer a different avenue for community engagement and connection, enriching the diverse tapestry of our congregation.

CBI would like to install a wheelchair ramp between The Jennifer Barnum Luria Early Childhood Center, and the adjacent Sherman Education building to increase accessibility and full participation in religious, educational, and social programing.
Our early childhood center abuts our education building, specifically Blumauer Auditorium, a centrally-located space designed for community gathering and indoor play. Currently, a five-step staircase makes passage between the two inaccessible for wheelchair users and families with strollers. In keeping with our values and ongoing commitment to improving accessibility, we are prioritizing a ramp to this high-traffic area, as its immediate impact will allow both our 300 student Religious School and 90 student capacity early childhood center to be truly multi-use, adaptable, and accessible spaces. We have begun the process of gathering bids for this work, and plan to install a ramp that meets commercial specifications for ultimate safety and longevity.

The Portland Community's Oldest Orthodox Synagogue
Congregation Kesser Israel is an Orthodox synagogue for all Jews. We are a welcoming community built on Torah values where people of all backgrounds will be inspired to a deeper relationship with Hashem.

Jan Herson Education Fund
Congregation Kol Ami believes that every child in our congregation should have access to a Jewish education. The Jan Herson Education Fund insures that every family is able to send their children to school and only donate what they able. This fund is building a future for the Jewish community through education.

Eastside Jewish Commons is seeking a sponsor for our 3rd Friday noon concert series
Every 3rd Friday of the month, Eastside Jewish Commons hosts a free noon concert featuring a diverse array of Portland-based musicians. From Bluegrass to Classical to Jazz, audiences are treated to rich musical experiences. Audience members are encouraged to support nearby eateries and bring in their lunch while they enjoy the performances.

HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR COMMUNITY FUND. JFCS' Holocaust Survivor Services assures Holocaust Survivors' physical, emotional, financial and spiritual needs are met in a language and cultural context essential to their sense of safety and trust.
JFCS serves 60 of Portland's 100 Holocaust Survivors whose average age is 87. We partner with organizations like the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany (Claims Conference), Kavod Shef, the Jewish Federation of Greater Portland, and Oregon Jewish Community Foundation to provide invaluable resources and support for greater Portland's Survivors. These generous supports total about 70% of the total cost of providing services. Your support of these courageous, resilient community members is essential in allowing JFCS to continue to meet their needs for a safe, comforting quality of life. We are the only agency in Oregon whose Holocaust Survivor Case Managers are trained to specifically provide dedicated, culturally and linguistically specific services for Holocaust survivors. Through home-care, case management, conversations and community building, JFCS' Holocaust Survivor Services assures Survivors thrive with the utmost degree of dignity. We seek solutions to challenges that crop up and provide resources that connect, comfort and strengthen our Survivors' lives. JFCS serves 60 of Portland's 100 Holocaust Survivors.

This includes durable medical equipment and therapies not covered by insurance, utilities, food, clothing, medications and more.

JFCS' Reach Out and Welcome (ROAW) Project. In response to the 2022-2023 Jewish Community Study by the Jewish Federation of Greater Portland, JFCS aims to: 1. Invest in Adult Education and Diverse Programs
Goals: 1. Engagement: Reach 5,000 people annually across Portland's north, northeast, southeast, and East Multnomah County. Participate in major events (e.g., Good in the Hood, Pride!, Jade District Night Market) and smaller venues (e.g., farmer's markets, corporate volunteer events). 2. Expand Programming: Increase presence at Eastside Jewish Commons (EJC) from 2-3 hours a week to two days a week by Fall 2024, in collaboration with other organizations like Tisch PDX. 3. Partnerships: Strengthen collaboration with PDX Hillel at Portland State University and Lewis & Clark College to offer counseling services to students. 4. Volunteer Growth: Double volunteer numbers and hours in the first year; triple by the second year. 5. Diverse Outreach: Enhance social media and newsletters to celebrate multicultural holidays and events, reflecting the diverse nature of today's Jewish households as highlighted in the Study. To meet these goals, JFCS will: • Expand relationships with synagogues, agencies, and organizations across the Portland metro area. • Invite these entities to collaborate in public-facing events and share their educational offerings through our channels. • Utilize the entire JFCS agency, led by Executive Director Susan Greenberg, with support from the Board and staff. Volunteering Focus Encourage unaffiliated Jewish individuals to volunteer, offering them a low-risk way to engage with various Jewish organizations across the metro region. • Emphasize volunteer opportunities and communal Jewish activities at community events and corporate settings. Volunteer Coordination - The JFCS volunteer coordinator will lead the ROAW activities.

Scholarships to support MJCC memberships for low-income individuals and families
We are seeking support for membership scholarships. No one is denied services to the MJCC due to their inability to pay. The MJCC attracts a wide range of members, including seniors on fixed incomes, and individuals and families of limited means, including those from Stephens Creek Crossing, a low-income housing community directly across the street from our campus. Portland's recent demographic study commissioned by the Jewish Federation of Greater Portland showed a significant need for financial support within the Portland Jewish community as well. Each year we support approximately 90-100 individuals and families of limited means with scholarship support, costing us in the range of $80,000 annually.

To support operations of the warm water pool
The MJCC's warm water pool is one of only a handful in the area that still remains, and it is the only one in the city that is open to the public. Due to the high costs of operations, many pools have been forced to close, including the Providence pool. Thanks to the generous support of donors, the MJCC has been able to maintain its pool, serving hundreds of our community's most vulnerable individuals. The effects of warm water exercise on the body are well-documented and can greatly reduce the effect of conditions such as fibromyalgia, post-polio, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury and stroke. It can also speed the healing from fractures and orthopedic surgery. The 94 degree thermo-neutral water temperature prevents dangerous and debilitating chilling for bodies incapable of self-regulation. Warm water is also the ideal environment for relieving arthritis pain and stiffness. Our regular pool users constitute a true community of people who extend care, support and often even physical help to one another. Beyond exercise for their bodies alone, this provides many with a singular social outlet, feeding the human need for contact and interaction, vital aspects of mental and emotional health. The warm pool is also an ideal space for babies and young children to learn essential swimming and water safety skills. There they enjoy swimming lessons and family open swim time, helping them acclimate and become comfortable in the water. The warm pool has been essential to allowing us to meet our mission for decades, and although it does not generate revenue, it is imperative that we continue to ensure that it is funded.

Supporting the expansion of the PDX Hillel staff team to serve more students on more Portland-area campuses than ever before.
With the extreme rise in antisemitism and anti-Zionism on our college campuses, it is now more important than ever to expand our outreach to more students on more Portland-area campuses (Portland State University, Lewis and Clark College, Reed College, University of Portland, the Portland Community Colleges, Oregon Health and Sciences University, and Pacific University). Students from across the city are reaching out to Hillel for support when they experience antisemitism in the classroom from their professors, peers and online. Hillel staff work non-stop to help students report bias incidents on campus and provide for their physical and emotional needs by providing rides to get students off-campus, connecting them to mental health resources in the community, and providing meals when students are too stressed to care for themselves. Students are needing safe, welcoming, and joyful Jewish spaces where they can proudly express their Jewish identity and we need the staff power to create these incredibly crucial communities on campus. Additionally, our outreach, education, and advocacy to university administrators is crucial as we need these partners to speak up and take action on campus to ensure the safety of our Jewish students. This important and necessary work can only be done by creating, fostering, and growing meaningful relationships with key Hillel staff. Responding to all of these needs, we added a fourth staff member to our team and now we need to ensure sustainability for years to come.

Support Jewish teens in Public Schools
Jewish teens today feel isolated and unsafe in their public schools. With PPS teaching anti Israel propaganda in schools, and teachers promoting the materials, teens today are desperate for a litle respite from the "real world." Enter JSU or the Jewish Student Union Clubs, a safe space for Jewish students (and allies) to come together and celebrate Jewish culture and traditions. NCSY staff attend the clubs, armed with bagels and shmear and lots of snacks. Although students initially come for the food, they stay for the companionship and meaningful programming.

Free First Sundays
As part of OJMCHE's Diversity, Equity, Accessibility, and Inclusion (DEAI) work, the museum has dedicated itself to reduce the financial barriers that admission imposes for some visitors so we can better connect with a wider audience. Although our admission charge is modest ($10 adults, $6 seniors, $5 students over 12, free under 12), we believe that everyone should have access to our exhibitions and resources. Therefore, we are seeking funding in order to continue to provide free admission to all on the first Sunday of every month. The benefits to this program have been crystal clear: more people visit (averaging 80 visitors per free day), most people join our mailing list, and some become museum members. Without doubt, OJMCHE's free days have reduced barriers for public access to Holocaust education, which is perhaps more important than ever in light of the increase in antisemitism locally, nationally and across the globe.

Funding will support Outside the Frame's mission to train homeless and marginalized youth to be directors of their own films and lives, providing a creative outlet, job training, a public platform, and a sense of dignity and possibility.
As the only non-profit organization of its kind in the Portland/Tri-county area, Outside the Frame (OTF) serves over 100 unhoused young people (ages 16-30) annually by offering free skills training during quarterly Film Intensives & Weekly Workshops; employment through independent Film Productions & Community Outreach; professional development and job placement through its recently launched Film Career Development program. Participants are over 50% POC, 67% LGBTQ, 78% having a disability, 95% reporting homelessness or housing insecurity. Trained to work in an industry notorious for its lack of diversity, unhoused youth secure well-paying jobs while breaking class barriers to housing, education, health, and well-being. OTF aims to continue offering high-quality film-based instruction and low-barrier employment opportunities to unhoused youth year-round. Across Oregon, approximately 15,000 people of all ages are homeless, 35% of whom are based in Multnomah County where OTF has operated since 2009. Due to its efforts to lift local youth out of precarity, OTF is changing the face of the film industry as a whole. Formerly unhoused and marginalized program participants have gone on to work for Hulu, Netflix, HBO, and Nike, and started independent organizations and businesses. Stories told by OTF filmmakers are deeply personal and reach further into the community each year. The film "In the Grey Wild" (2023) was recently screened at the first annual Hillsboro Film Festival and won an award for best direction from the WILDsound Documentary Film Festival. Four OTF films were presented at the 2024 TAG! Queer Shorts Festival, the Portland-based international festival, featuring work made exclusively by queer and trans directors. OTF hosts screenings in civic spaces, schools, theaters, museums, and art galleries. OTF's high-impact programs are made possible through close partnerships with local and national service organizations, The City of Portland, Metro Regional Government, and Multnomah County's Joint Office of Homeless Services3, who share in the effort to make serious housing issues visible to the broader public while effecting lasting systemic change. OTF has hosted screenings in civic spaces, schools, theaters, museums, and art galleries both locally and internationally. Additional general operating support will enable OTF to reach its mission-driven goals including: 1) Support the social and emotional well-being of homeless youth, especially from BIPOC, immigrant and refugee communities. 2) Promote public awareness regarding homelessness and connect homeless youth with the public. 3) Build and strengthen organizational capacity to serve constituents over the age of 26.

8th Grade Israel Trip Scholarships
We are seeking support for financial assistance for the 2025 8th Grade Israel Trip. Funds will provide extra assistance to those families demonstrating financial need. As 8th graders, PJA students (generally) have the remarkable opportunity to travel to Israel, accompanied by two teachers who serve as chaperones. For the two-week all-inclusive trip to Israel, expenses per student are expected to be $5,000.00. This is an increase of $700+ over the 2019 trip and approximately $117 over 2023. The increase in costs can be attributed, in part, to rising inflation, COVID-related costs and fuel prices. Due to the continued war in the region, it is expected that additional security costs will be incurred for 2025. The trip cost, on top of regular PJA tuition, can be a barrier to some families, and we never want to turn anyone away from this life changing experience due to lack of funds. We encourage families to fundraise, and while many classes do undertake some fundraising activities to help defray trip costs, those funds disbursed among 18-24 students may amount to only $100-$250, which doesn't make a significant dent in the per child cost. PJA's class of 2025 is expected to have 24 students of different backgrounds and circumstances, approximately 42% of whom will be on tuition assistance. Many of them have been at the school since Kindergarten, although some joined in 6th grade for middle school. This cohesive group of students is eagerly awaiting their turn to experience Israel, many for the first time. We expect to receive a number of requests for financial assistance from families in this class and want to be sure that the Israel trip is within reach for each of them. The itinerary is varied and may include a visit to Yad Vashem, Masada and the Dead Sea, a Shabbat overnight stay with a host family, a visit to Bedouin tents, a tour of a Mosque, the Western Wall, and much, much more. Students try new foods, attend and lead synagogue services, participate in an archeological dig, harvest vegetables at Leket Israel to feed the hungry, and bond with their classmates and new friends from Contra Costa Jewish Day School (CCJDS). This unforgettable adventure is so jam-packed with rich experiences, it's impossible to list them all. There is no question that this trip is a pivotal experience in reinforcing the Jewish identity of each student. And this trip is more critical than ever, to help instill in our young people a love for and deep appreciation of the Jewish homeland.

Tuition Assistance for PJA students
PJA is proud to be able to offer tuition assistance to numerous families, including over half of day school families and dozens of families in our Early Childhood program. Out of 170 Day School students this year, 92 are receiving aid (54%). Preschool costs are currently at $18,740/year. Lower School is $23,200 and Middle School is $24,200. In the Day School, the average financial aid given is $10,086. Average out- of-pocket costs are $13,755 (Day School). This aid is made possible thanks to the generosity of our donors and to the success of our Annual Auction. Even with our current level of generous support, however, we know that we lose students who would like a Jewish education, due to the fact that they simply cannot afford to pay tuition at the level we require. Due to concerns over the cost of tuition, we see a drop-off in families particularly during transition years such as pre-kindergarten to kindergarten, kindergarten to 1st grade, and from 5th grade to middle school. A gift to support Tuition Assistance can make all the difference to these families and help make a PJA education accessible.

Commercial Upgrades to TBI Kitchen
Commercial Upgrade to TBI Kitchen We moved into our new building in 2008. Due to budget constraints we did not implement several features in the kitchen: 1. Stainless steel countertops that would drastically increase the ease of kashering the kitchen for Passover. We currently have formica countertops that are degrading due to water getting into the seams. 2. We have a low-capacity commercial dishwasher that is marginally adequate for day-to-day needs, but does not serve our needs when we have b'nai mitzvot celebrations, fundraisers, and other large events. We have been stretching its useful life with more frequent repairs, but we are now facing an actual replacement of the appliance. 3. Range. Our oven does not hold a constant temperature, even though we regularly have it calibrated. 4. Upgrades to our electric outlets in the kitchen. We are limited to what we can simultaneously plug in in the convenient places where we need them, otherwise we blow circuitry. For example, we cannot plug in our coffee pot and our tea pot at the same time. If funding all of these upgrades is prohibitive, we would be grateful for a portion that would allow us to do some of the upgrades.

Jewish Music Series
Jewish music series There are wonderful Jewish musicians and musical groups that are based in the Pacific Northwest or are traveling through the Pacific Northwest. Many would love to stop for a performance in Eugene on their way from Seattle to San Francisco. Unfortunately, we only rarely take advantage of those opportunities because our small congregation isn't able to charge the high ticket price necessary to recoup the costs needed to pay the performer(s). We would truly appreciate any donor who would like to subsidize a Jewish music series so that we could improve our Jewish musical educational and cultural offerings to the TBI community.
