“Jewish Federations appreciate the appropriations committee’s $25 million proposed increase to the Nonprofit Security Grant Program, which is critical for protecting Jews and other faith communities from violence. This increase is an important step in the right direction.
  

Still, threats to the Jewish community are more frequent, visible, and normalized than ever before, and while Federations invest heavily in our communal safety, the cost for securing our community alone stands at an estimated $775 million a year. We look forward to working with Congress to use any vehicle possible to further increase funding for this life-saving program.”
