Subscriptions of less than $100 each have thus far been made by 23,963 persons in the tenth anniversary campaign of the Federation for the Support of Jewish Philanthropic Societies, it was announced by Frederick Brown, General Chairman.
In addition to those who gave less than $100 each, 7,099 persons subscribed between $100 and $1,000 each. Of those who gave less than $100, 4,329 gave less than $10 each, 11,657 between $10 and $25, 4,887 between $25 and $50, and 3,180 between $50 and $99.
“Analysis of the contributions to date has been gratifying to the leaders and workers in the campaign,” said Mr. Brown. “The records of the present campaign prove that the average citizen of the community is responding to the Federation appeal. These figures show that Federation is approaching its ideal of making its funds completely democratic, to so perfect its methods that it can handle the smallest donation as economically as the largest, and to run the threads of getting and giving throughout the lives of the entire Jewish population.
