Helen Bader Foundation to Permanently Endow Jewish Day School Education over Next Decade

As the endowment is built, the Foundation will continue to fund scholarships on an annual basis. In recent years, the Scholarship Fund has provided $500,000 in funds annually to local families, for a total of more than $6.1 million in scholarships since 1993.

"A Jewish education is a gift we give our children, and this endowment will ensure that today's Scholarship beneficiaries can see their children and even their grandchildren attend those same day schools," said federation President Bruce A. Arbit. "The Helen Bader Foundation has once again demonstrated a commitment to building the long-term strength of this community, for families of all means."
