Joseph…
why would you expect Federations to give more per capita to orthodox schools than conservative, reform or non-denominational schools when the majority of Federation participants are not orthodox?
My listing was to refute akuperma’s assertion that Federations don’t support Torah institutions.
I’m no great fan of Federation, but OOT one is part of the total Jewish community, not just the frum community and one supports federation. They also maintain many cemeteries, pay for kosher supervision at colleges, nursing homes and hospitals and even salaries for the Jewish chaplains at local hospitals.
I mentioned the Yeshiva K’Tana in Waterbury, because CTRebbe had made a remark about Yeshiva K-tanas suffering at the expense of kollelim. The local Federation gave $45,000 last year, up from $33,000 the year before. You can be sure that 90+% of this money is coming from non-orthodox contributors.
