The Bernard and Etta Weinberg Family Fund of the Jewish Federation was established by Etta Weinberg during her lifetime and funded through her estate. It is one of our largest Restricted Endowment Funds.
The fund makes grants related to providing geriatric counseling and care management, services for adults ages 60+, and Jewish education, all of which were the focus of Etta’s philanthropy during her lifetime.
