- Admin History/Bio
- The Administration Committee of the United Jewish Welfare fund was originally a Dec. 1, 1936 special committee, formed to examine the income and expenditures of Toronto Jewish agencies and also to examine the need for a new Toronto Jewish "Community Chest". A further series of meetings in early 1937 resulted the creation of the United Jewish Welfare Fund which would act as the sole fund-raising organization for an enlarged federation of all Jewish agencies. By June 1937 this special committee had been renamed the Administrative Committee, first of the Joint Campaign and, in July, of the new United Jewish Welfare Fund.
- The first chair of the UJWF's now permanent Administration Committee, Ben Sadowski, was appointed its first Executive Director in 1939 but again served as Secretary for its January 1939 meeting.
- With the success of its early campaigns, the major and long-term central responsibility of this committee became the allocation of collected funds to associated agencies. As well, of special importance was the committee's ongoing re-examination of the needs of, and funding formula allocations to, Toronto's Jewish schools.
- As well as leading to the creation of the UJWF, the Administrative Committee was responsible for the creation of a permanent campaign office, staffed by a full-time Chair and Vice-Chair and supported by experienced community fund-raising staff. It was also occasionally required to examine administrative personnel and policy issues, budget issues, and produce new financial overviews of the UJWF.
- Scope and Content
- Series consists of three sub-series; Meeting Minutes, Education Funding Formula, and Correspondence. Also included are minutes of a special committee study about the state of finances of the United Jewish Welfare Fund.
- Notes
- Records documenting the meeting minutes and activities of this committee are CLOSED until they are more than ten years old.

- The Jewish Camp Council was formed in 1945 by five different groups running summer camps for Jewish youth: B’nai Brith, the National Council of Jewish Women, the Mothers’ and Babes’ Summer Rest Home Association, the United Jewish Welfare Fund of Toronto and the YM-YWHA
- The United Jewish Welfare Fund eventually assumed responsibility for all camp property, including Camp Northland in Haliburton, and programming for all camps was organized as a unified service. The Jewish Camp Council Board of Directors included representatives from all five organizations, while the executive director of the YM-YWHA acted as executive director of the Jewish Camp Council. Initially, the head office was located at Camp B'nai Brith, near Orillia, and then moved into the new YM-YWHA building at Spadina and Bloor in 1953.

The series is arranged into three sub-series: Programs and services, Correspondence, and Subject files.

In the JIAS office, files were maintained in a central registry system of random numerical classification (these original numbers remain on the files). Some files were formerly a part of a series (MG2 I1a F) called "Executive Director's reference files," and have been re-assigned here to the appropriate sub-series.
