JTA’s willingness to compromise its commitment to combatting climate change plus its grant myopia led to poor decision making.
For example, for $13.9K

Or, a newer one for $32K

Documents available on the JTA website contain conflicting information, making it impossible to see exactly how much was grant funded and how much was paid for directly from reserves.
2022 budget says $760K for this item, including $10K from reserves.
Resolution 22-28 says $574K, with no details about sources of funds.
More transparency, please.
