2012 JWEF Grantees

In 2012, the Jewish Women’s Endowment Fund provided grants totaling $16,000 to the following programs:

NITZA – The Israel Center for Maternal Health

Pre/Postpartum Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Program

The Yvette Gilburne Memorial JWEF grant will support this program. The premise of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is that the way we perceive things affects the way we behave. This program provides intervention and support to women in Israel who are suffering from Prenatal and Postpartum illness.

TIPS (Tucson Israel Phoenix Seattle partnership) Development Fund for Kiryat Malachi

Youth Clinic for Young Women in Distress

The Aileen Osofsky Memorial JWEF grant will support the Youth Clinic in Kiryat Malachi, which helps young women who need discrete, readily available, multi-disciplinary free treatment for medical, psychological and emotional disorders. Problems include eating disorders, abuse, neglect, and drug and alcohol addiction. Many of these young women are Ethiopian.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

* A Field of Interest Endowment Fund enables a donor to direct their gift to address a specific area of concern (e.g. Jewish women and children, Jewish education, community outreach, the elderly, professional enrichment), while giving the Foundation the ability to determine how the funds will be spent in that particular field. The distribution of grants from Field of Interest Endowment Funds is overseen by the Jewish Community Foundation’s Grants Committee.
