•THIS directory is one of a series com-x piled annually by the Council of Jewish

Federations and Welfare Funds. Virtuallyall of these community organizations areaffiliated with the Council as their nationalassociation for sharing of common serv-ices, interchange of experience, and jointconsultation and action.

These communities comprise at least 95per cent of the Jewish population of theUnited States and about 90 per cent of theJewish population of Canada. Listed foreach community is the local central agency—federation, welfare fund, or communitycouncil—with its address and the names ofthe president and executive officer.

The names "federation," "welfare fund,"and "Jewish community council" are notdefinitive and their structures and func-tions vary from city to city. What is calleda federation in one city, for example, maybe called a community council in another.

In the main these central agencies haveresponsibility for some or all of the follow-ing functions: (a) raising of funds forlocal, national, and overseas services; (b)allocation and distribution of funds forthese purposes; (c) coordination and cen-tral planning of local services, such asfamily welfare, child care, health, recrea-tion, community relations within the Jewishcommunity and with the general com-munity, Jewish education, care of the aged,and vocational guidance, to strengthenthese services, eliminate duplication, andfill gaps; (d) in small and some inter-mediate cities, direct administration oflocal social services.

(1) Member agency of the Council ofJewish Federations and Welfare Funds.
