      DETAILS
      General Info
      Serving multiple generations, the Federation is the central coordinating agency for Tarrant County Jewish community. It acts as the umbrella organization through which the community's fund-raising, community programs, leadership development, community relations, and Jewish continuity needs are met. With funds raised each year, a network of 36 organizations devoted to education, revitalization, social services, humanitarian aid, and poverty relief for Jewish populations in Tarrant County, the United States, Israel, and around the world are supported by the Federation. Fifty percent of these funds are used locally to provide vital support to Tarrant County institutions. Each year the Federation runs an Annual Campaign beginning in January and concluding in July. Volunteer solicitors try to call the same donors every year so that they develop a relationship and can truly help their donors with the mitzvah of giving. The 2009 Annual Campaign raised $901, 037 which the Federation was able to allocate to 36 organizations. For more information see, Making a Difference. Some of the Campaign events that the Federation sponsors each year are the Major Gifts Event and Tzedakah Sunday. The Major Gifts Event is the kick-off for the Annual Campaign and takes place in January. It features key speakers and a reception and is open to $2, 500 and above givers. Tzedakah Sunday falls in February and features a phonathon. Volunteer callers spend an entire Sunday reaching out to as many givers as possible. Both of these events help the Federation build and support the Jewish community and raise badly needed funds for local, regional, national, and overseas agencies. Endowment Funds Federation Endowment Funds make it possible for donors to perpetuate their legacy and to provide continuity of giving from one generation to the next. Established to nurture innovation, and to provide avenues for education, leadership development, advocacy, and trips to Israel, etc., the Endowment Funds' mission is to develop and manage resources that meet the challenges and needs of Tarrant County Jewish community both today and tomorrow. For more information see, Endowment Funds. The Barnett/Brachman Young Leadership Award - awarded to an outstanding young person who has rendered extraordinary service to the community to stimulate and inspire leadership toward further and continuous communal interest activity and to reward exceptional service to the Jewish Federation and its beneficiaries or its affiliated agencies. The award includes a subsidy to the individual to attend the General Assembly of the United Jewish Communities of North America. The Wolens Scholarship - established by Jerry and Sylvia Wolens, the scholarship is presented annually to a Jewish person newly involved in the Federation. The scholarship provides a subsidy to the individual to attend the General Assembly of the United Jewish Communities of North America. Jewish Community Relations Council Throughout every Jewish organization in Tarrant County runs a single common tie: the Federation's JCRC. It connects all Jewish organizations, agencies, and religious institutions in Tarrant County, serving as a community builder, advocate and coalition builder within the Jewish community. As one of 15 U.S. Jewish communities within the UJC Central Area Consortium who join together to partner with the Western Galilee, the Federation is making a direct impact on the day-to-day lives of Israeli citizens. Through Partnership, Tarrant County has brought teenage camp counselors to work in the community and a theater performance by the Akko Theatre as well as contributing to the Western Galilee's emergency programs through the Israel Emergency Campaign.
