The Jewish Deaf Resource Center is proud to be the administrator of
 The UJA-Federation of New York Jewish Community Deaf Interpreting Fund.

This fund provides partial reimbursement to approved Jewish organizations and synagogues in the NY Metro area
for the cost of hiring American Sign Language Interpreters or captioning services.
The fund is supported by The Chuck Goldman Family Supporting Foundation and the
Network Commission of UJA-Federation of New York.  JDRC is the administrator of the grant.

The New York Jewish Community Deaf Interpreting Fund

HOW THE FUND WORKS:
Once a Jewish organization in the NY Metro area has a request from someone Deaf, go to www.jdrc.org and download the request form.  Complete Form A and use the submit button to send it to  jdrc501c3@aol.com. It is recommended that you try to do this at least two weeks prior to the event. This UJA-Federation of NY fund will reimburse approved programs 75% of the cost of interpreting, not to exceed $200 per event. Each organization can receive a maximum of $800 in a fiscal calendar year.  Partial reimbursements will be made subsequent to the event, after Form B is completed.


WHO HIRES AND IDENTIFIES THE INTERPRETER?
Each Jewish organization is responsible for hiring and paying the ASL interpreters who work at their events.
