Jewish philanthropists help people with disabilities

A new initiative aimed at uniting philanthropic efforts to improve the treatment of people with disabilities in the Jewish community and to raise awareness of their needs was announced Friday by the Jewish Funders Network (JFN), an international umbrella organization for Jewish philanthropy.

Some 13 Jewish foundations, including the Ted Arison Family Foundation in Israel, the Jewish Federations of North America, the UK based Pears Foundation, the Ruderman Family Foundation and the Harry & Jeanette Weinberg Foundation, have already committed to the new organization, which will research and advocate change for Jewish people and children with special needs and disabilities.
