About Alina Spaulding
The story of Alina Gerlovin Spaulding is a miracle in which we all share a part. The funds raised by Federations like ours, have allowed Alina and her family to be part of the American Jewish community. Alina immigrated to the United States in 1979 with the help of many Jewish agencies funded by our Federation dollars. Her parents tried to leave the Former Soviet Union for several years, but were granted permission only after the worldwide Jewish community applied pressure.


Alina is involved in humanitarian causes in the United States and overseas. She coordinated the Delet Camp program between Greensboro and Beltsy, Moldova for 5 years. She has also traveled to Minsk with Jewish Healthcare International on a mental health and Jewish education mission intended to build a more vibrant and healthy Jewish community in Belarus. Alina has been awarded a number of highly prestigious fellowships including; the Brandeis/ Bronfman Institute for Informal Jewish Education, the Covenant Fellowship program for Jewish Education, and the Day School Leadership Training Institute at Columbia University.
