A budget of $5,025,995, $400,000 greater than the amount for 1928, was voted by the board of trustees of the New York Federation for the Support of Jewish Philanthropic Societies for 1929.
Harry G. Friedman, Chairman of the distribution committee of the Federation, declared that 60 per cent of the increase is the result of recognition of the fact that many of the positions in the institutions benefited require definite professional training and background, and that salaries must be commensurate with the improved standards of work.
Budgetary allotments by types of institutions include: Child-caring agencies, $798,913.50; agencies for the prevention and correction of delinquency, $288,753; institutions for the education and recreation of the handicapped, $59,208; care of the aged and infirm, $127,646; hospitals and medical care agencies, $1,450,918; medical social service agencies, $333,107; relief of sick and needy and family welfare work, $834,138.54; community centre activities, $576,673; fresh air work, $58,470; Jewish education, $248,964; vocational education, $208,071; subventions, $29,133. and for new activities, $12,000.
