I did not say they were. I used this as an example of how OOT Jewish Federations will fund ALL Jewish Day Schools/Yeshivas in the community. Money from all donors supporting Jewish Education. Most of the money is raised from non-Frum Jews but they value the existence of the Orthodox schools so they help fund them.

In the 1980s and 90s the New Haven Federation also helped fund the Gan School (K-8) and Tikvah High School for Girls which were Litvish. These schools have since closed due to problems with headmaster/principal and scandals which I’ll not repeat here.
Federation also helps fund Eiruv, Mikvah, derelict cemeteries which may not be important to most Jews in town, but are worthy of support by the Jewish community as a whole.
