Over the years this association, with the help of several foundations and a number of private individuals interested in Yiddish culture, has been able to provide financial assistance to various projects of the Medem Library and Paris Yiddish Center.

One of the most recent projects to be helped by the association is the compilation and publication of the English version of the Yiddish-French dictionary produced by Yitskhok Niborski and Bernard Vaisbrot. This English version, entitled Comprehensive Yiddish-English Dictionary, whose chief editors are Solon Beinfeld and Harry Bochner, was published in January 2013 by Indiana University Press.
