• Households that are struggling financially are much more concerned about the future than financially stable households. • 59% of struggling households are not at all confident in their ability to keep current savings or investments • 11% of Jewish households in Greater Portland are unable to pay in full an unexpected $400 emergency expense with cash, money currently in a bank account, or a credit card
NOTE—we are currently experiencing a 400K+ loss in our annual campaign due to death or relocation of donors.This will necessitate up to 20% reduction in allocable dollars so the numbers below are higher than they will be unfortunately for the coming cycle and perhaps several years into the future until we can close that gap. So in a time when costs and needs are increasing we are dealing with a more limited campaign pool. Hoping this will be a blip and we recover quickly but as our donor base ages and not all large gifts are endowed to replace their annual giving in the event of death, our federation as well as other community orgs (we share a relatively limited pool of large donors in this community) will continue to experience the losses. • Larger free loan fund to give higher value loans • More $ to support JFCS • More $ for Emergency Assistance, More funds for the community chaplain to fund that role for the community • More scholarship funding for youth and teen scholarships for camp, Israel and day schools to offset rising tuition • Need for capacity building for qualified professionals to effectively run all of these programs.
