The endowment fund of the Jewish Federation of Greater Washington, also based in Rockville, had more than $10 million invested with the now-defunct Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities. The Associated: Jewish Community Federation of Baltimore was not affected, officials said.
Another casualty of the scandal is the JEHT Foundation, based in New York. JEHT was established in 2000, according to its Web site. Madoff managed the foundation's money.
The Job Opportunities Task Force, a Baltimore group that advocates for low-income workers and job seekers, has received money from JEHT for at least four years, said the group's director, Jason Perkins-Cohen, including $115,000 last year.
