Grantmaking
Deliberate Strategy
The Foundation uses two different but complementary strategies–Deliberate and Emergent–to make investments and grants designed to enhance connection, meaning, and purpose in the lives of young Jews.
Our Deliberate Strategy provides strategic grants and hands-on support to exemplary Jewish nonprofit organizations and initiatives with proven models for Jewish learning and talent development.
Through this strategy, we focus on strengthening and growing program models for Jewish learning that have deep and enduring effects on participants. We also support efforts to train and develop dynamic, pioneering leaders and educators who serve these programs and their learners by being well-attuned to the learners’ needs and interests. An important component of this strategy is to shift the culture within existing Jewish education organizations to increased excellence, experimentation, learning, and belonging.
Deliberate Strategy
Effective and compelling Jewish learning experiences supported by our Deliberate Strategy continually evolve with the emergence of new approaches for learning, new forms of Jewish expression, and the rediscovery of Jewish traditions and teachings that resonate in modern times.
