Once an organization known to have assisted with opening and funding day schools in the 1960s. What do they really add today?
They are probably under some pressure after the recent announcement that a group of Satmer askanim had provided funding to increase compensation for rebbes/moros in their yeshivos by 30%.
Lakewhut, check out their fundraising video. That should answer your question
This is a very good question. In other words why doesn’t it create a fund to solve the tuition crisis. Any parent who earns below x times the poverty level for his family size should be able to get say 1k per child. (So maybe anyone earning less than 400% of poverty level or 450% and not receiving support). They’d also have to apply the value of govt programs. So let’s say you only earn income wise 200% but after programs you are receiving 500% of poverty level you wouldn’t get this grant.
I know this would be very expensive but if BMG can raise $80M per year why can’t they raise $100M? And use it to help struggling middle class ?
7This conversation is loshon horah & should be stopped. There’s no toeles discussing this.
Find another topic that doesn’t single out anyone.Chaim> In other words why doesn’t it create a fund to solve the tuition crisis. … They’d also have to apply the value of govt programs.
What you describe as “tuition crisis” is the fact that there are too many members of the community who do not earn enough and even rely on “govt programs” for poor people even when they are capable of working. Then, you expect someone else to raise $100M. Why not focus on teaching commuinty members to earn enough and organize schools that help that?
My takeaways from the video is that today Torah Umesorah is
Not at all involved in day schools (i.e. they only service chareidi yeshivos)
It’s a platform for school to work on (like Microsoft excel)
75% of Rabbeim in all Jewish schools have been trained in Aish Dos
Providing curriculum to schools
A vaad Rosh Yeshivos that guides schools what they should be doing and what schools should not do
Guardrails to keep schools in check
The gas that is keeping the chinuch world going
Does anyone think that is correct, accurate and clear?
Chaim 87 There are several problems with your suggestion
$1k per student would not solve the problem. It would be nice but it is not much of a help (ask middle income family paying $30k or more in tuition)
BMG is able to get a lot of money from pell grants, not all is fundraised. BMG also has a massive fundraising operation
If there are 400,000 children in schools and at least half would qualify, that still means raising $200 million every single year. If they had trouble raising $9 million for this last campaign how do you propose they do that
Most importantly, it does not help anyone to say “the OTHER guy should raise $100 miilion buck, no big whoop.” If you yourself said I will personaly raise $50 million, anyone out there to match me, now we are talking
