IT’S WHAT

BEING JEWISH FEELS LIKEFEELS LIKEFEELS LIKEFEELS LIKE .

Building community and helping to make the world a better place is what we do every day. For us, it’s what being Jewish feels like.

It’s a promise that social services and community organizations will remain strong and active for all of us. And for you.

It’s an opportunity to be part of a caring community that gives back. And it’s an opportunity to foster and celebrate Jewish identity for future generations.

community

This Annual Report of the Savannah Jewish Federation highlights its activities and community involvement over the last twelve months. It is worthy of your reading and examination. You are what makes the Savannah Jewish Federation what it is and thus your understanding of its mission and accomplishments is critically impor-tant. Knowledge is truly power. But, behind the day to day activities, there is a larger consideration - a factor that tells the story of who we are and why we exist. We live in an ever changing world that is becoming smaller and smaller. The headlines today on matters of Jewish concern regarding Israel, the Middle East, Europe and the United States are important on a daily basis. These are challenges that our Federation has sought to keep the community updated for we cannot ignore any effort, anywhere, that rings the bell of history. The con-tinuing commitment to Israel and Jews around the globe of the Savannah Jewish Federation must be a constant and must be vigilant. With the outstanding leadership of Campaign Chair Allan Ratner and his able team and many solicitors, the annual Federation campaign surpassed $ 1,000,000.00 in pledges for the second year in a row. It is a truly outstanding ef-fort and one that evidences the binding element of a Fed-eration. It is a combined effort of many people to raise funds for worthy causes, to sustain organizations and to make a difference in the lives of our people. Whether it is a large allocation or a small grant, every dollar is impor-tant, every dollar is an investment, every dollar helps write a chapter in our history. That is why your support of our Annual Campaign is so very vital. But beyond all of the above, the story of Federation and why we exist is people. People we know. People we do not know. People in Savannah. People in other parts of the Jewish world. Please allow me to elaborate. Members of our community benefit in unlimited ways through Jewish Family Services. This is a program of SJF that provides a variety of supportive social and finan-cial services in a respectful and meaningful way. It is a program that has seen an increase with the demographics indicating an even greater need in the future. SJF, through the use of funds established by generous donors, encourages and provides a path for our young people to have Jewish experiences, both in this country and in Israel. These experiences are so important in help-ing build future generations of Jewish commitment and involvement.

Programs of Holocaust observances, film, music and speak-ers help our community maintain its connections with our history, our culture and with each other - the most important connection we have. All of these events remind us that we must endeavor every day to honor our past, preserve our pre-sent and guarantee our future. The Savannah Jewish Federation is also looking to the fu-ture. There is a new emphasis on connecting with new gen-erations through Young Jewish Savannah, Hillel and BBYO. There are plans for initiatives to cultivate and en-courage leadership development throughout the commu-nity. We are constantly examining new ideas for social ser-vices that can benefit those among us in need, however tem-porary. We are very fortunate to have a staff, led by Adam Solender, that understands the importance and value of our Federa-tion. Each person works tirelessly every day to meet the high expectations that we set for ourselves and help make our community the best it can be. There are never enough thanks to Adam, Cheryl, Vicky, Sonya, Charlene, Devra, Justin (and crew) and Jamie. Finally, there is you. Every member of our community is a resource that we value, appreciate and respect. You are the reason SJF exists. You are the reason for confidence in the future of our Jewish Community. And, at the end of the day, it is your support that provides the energy for the Savannah Jewish Federation. On behalf of the Officers, Board of Governors and Staff, we thank you.

Steve Greenberg President

Dear Friends,

We are pleased to present this 2015 Annual Report for the Savannah Jewish Federation. Through some very great challenges, our Community Campaign broke the $1M mark for the second year in a row...it was a testament to the lead-ership of Allan Ratner, Harvey Lebos, Steffi Zerden and Stacey Schlafstein. They wouldn’t take “no for an answer.”

Our Annual Campaign is the engine that allows us to impact the lives of thousands of members of the Jewish community throughout the Coastal Empire, in Israel, and around the world. With the support of our endowment funds, Federa-tion allocated an additional $740,000+ to other worthwhile causes in Savannah, Israel and throughout the world.

Our Budget and Allocations process works tirelessly to en-sure that your generous donations are effective and applied where they are needed most to support Jews and Jewish organizations. The committee was one of the largest in re-cent memory with 36 members of the community commit-ting to the process. Not only one of the largest groups, it was the most diverse possible and represented each and every segment of the Savannah Jewish community.

Thanks to your generosity, we were very proud to have been able to create new and innovative initiatives to support Hillel and BBYO. With professional guidance, we are very hopeful to see renewed and increasing engagement. We increased our support of Birthright Israel where over 100 Savannahians have been able to travel to Israel over the past 15 years). Our support of Jewish education at Shalom School also increased over the past year(s) and we were able to provide “seed funding” for increased security. This was our third year of providing direct grants to over-seas beneficiaries who are doing essential work throughout the world on our behalf. Beneficiaries were nominated by community members who had an experience with the or-ganization including Meshi Children’s Rehabilitation Cen-ter, Magan David Odom, IsraAid, AKIM, Mir yeshiva Academy, Nalaga’at Art Center, American Jewish World Service, Tzofim-Israel Scouts, Ukraine Relief, Atlit Ma’a-palim Camp, Chimes, Communidad Hebrea Hatikva and JDC’s Krakow Jewish Awakening Project. This funding plus our annual support of JDC and JAFI is our commit-ment to worldwide Jewry

While “breaking” one million dollars is a strong result for a small community, we still have incredible opportunity. We continually make changes that will help us serve the Jewish community in a responsible, positive manner to achieve our objectives of connecting Jewish lives, assisting the vulner-able, and strengthening community.

Your Federation continues to provide support for those in need today and for innovative programs that work to ensure a vibrant Jewish community in the future.

Thanks to generous donors and dedicated volunteers, we

Adam M. Solender Executive Director

continue to hear positive responses to our various community programs. Ongoing activities include our annual Yom Hashoah observance, Savannah Jewish Film Festival, Israel advocacy, PJ Library, weekly eNews and the Savannah Jew-ish News.

The demands on our Jewish Family Services continues to grow (as does our community) in size of needs and complex-ity. While our community shows great generosity and many of us help others “quietly,” there are many among us who are receiving assistance and case management, rental/utility sub-sidy, food cards, and transportation. It is done as efficiently and effectively as possible. We will continue to focus on pro-viding for those in our community in need.

In the midst of the year, our community “stood tall” in an-swering the immediate needs of Jews in peril in Ukraine with thousands of dollars raised for immediate security needs

We recognize and honor the thousands of hours contributed to our organization by our board members, committee chairs and members, fund-raising and program volunteers. It is gratifying to know that you continue to value and support the work we do and that the future of our Jewish community is important to so many.

There are many challenges facing our community in the years ahead, including concerns about Jewish identity, a roiling Middle East, support of Israel and vulnerable Jewish popula-tions here in Savannah and across the globe. We are commit-ted to continuing our work to build a strong, vibrant Jewish community and target resources where they can be the most effective.

This Annual Report is but a snapshot of the organization’s financial condition. There is so much behind the numbers and we’d like to share it with you. Come, be a part of our holy work-Volunteer. Donate. Make a Difference Today!

JEWISH COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OF SAVANNAH

As my ancestors planted for me so do I plant for those who will come after me.

The Jewish Community Foundation of Savannah (the Foundation) is dedicated to creating permanent resources to meet the challenges and needs of the Savannah Jewish community, connecting yesterday, today and tomorrow. Individuals and family donors work in partnership with the Foundation to enhance Jewish community life and education.

The Foundation is fortunate to be invested in The Investment Fund for Foundations (TIFF) . TIFF is a cooperative-style investment organization founded by a nationwide network of foundations whose mission is

• To seek to enhance the investment returns of non-profit organizations.

• To reduce the investment and administrative expenses of non-profit organizations.

• To broaden the universe of investment choices available to non-profit organizations.

• To assist non-profit organizations in deploying their assets in a manner that will support charitable expenditures while preserving the purchasing power of their assets. The TIFF Multi-Asset Fund seeks to produce an annualized real return of 5% or more over long-term holding periods. In pursuit of this aim the fund employs a globally diversified portfolio. The Fund is a highly blended combination of assets in-cluding US Stocks, T-Bills, High Yield Bonds, Inflation Hedges (i.e. REITs and commodities), and Deflation Hedges (Conventional bonds). In addition to TIFF, JCFS also maintains modest investments in funds run by Chatham Capital (Savannah) and Caldwell & Orkin. Each of these funds has a different investment philosophy and provides donors with the opportunity to have their funds invested in a way that reflect their investment philosophy (if so desired).
