Bernard and Etta Weinberg Fund of the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia The Weinberg Family Fund is currently the largest restricted fund of the Jewish Federation with approximately $23. 8 million in assets and $9.
8 million granted since 2010. According to Etta’s original intentions, the Fund directed money to programs she funded during her lifetime: Jewish Family and Children’s Service: CLASP (City Line Assisting Seniors Program) and Senior Horizons, as well as Passport to Israel.
Funding for these eventually ended as the programs ended, and per Etta’s will, the Fund began to direct money to support programs she cared most about: geriatric counseling and care management (50% of grant), older adults (33% of grant), and Jewish education (16% of grant). The committee continues to search for programs that are new and innovative and reflect Etta’s core areas of interest.
Viable options are limited so the committee has begun to focus on programs that meet more of the basic, unmet needs of older adults while still considering opportunities that are new and innovative. The committee for The Weinberg Fund approves funding for up to three years. To learn more about the Bernard and Etta Weinberg Fund grant application guidelines, please click here.
