Five Local Jewish Groups Share Homeland Security Grants

The Jewish Federation is pleased to announce that five local Jewish nonprofits were chosen by the Department of Homeland Security for security grants totaling $308,914. The recipients are Herzl Ner Tamid, Temple De Hirsch Sinai, Jewish Family Service, Sephardic Bikur Holim and the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle. In each of those five years, we have successfully facilitated the grants process for all of the local Jewish groups. Nationally, $19 million was distributed and, as in previous years, the vast majority of the organizations chosen to receive funding were Jewish (94% this year).
