Summer Gratitude: Reflecting On Our Relationships & Partners
Summer has a way of slowing things down, just enough to pause, take stock, and reconnect with what drives us.
At ABW Partners, one of the most energizing parts of our work is the opportunity to partner with nonprofit leaders who are relentlessly committed to making the world a better place. These partnerships don’t just inspire us, they shape us. They fuel our passion, challenge our thinking, and allow us to grow in step with the visionary organizations we serve.
As we wrap up summer, we want to take a moment to say thank you.
We are deeply grateful for the clients who invite us into their missions, not only to contribute but also to co-create. Each engagement sharpens our own philosophy around business development, shaping a curated, values-aligned approach to our work. We offer more than our expertise. We bring our full selves, our strategic minds, and our whole hearts to our work with our clients.
This isn’t just a job for us. It’s our purpose.
When we work with organizations that share our values, something powerful happens. We’re able to work authentically, while still offering objective guidance. We build scopes of work through true collaboration, treating the proposal process as the first chapter in a meaningful partnership. We begin as we intend to go on: with trust, alignment, and a shared sense of responsibility & possibility.
We’re proud to be on the journey with a growing list of remarkable organizations. Just a few of the partners we’re honored to support this year include:
Foundation for Jewish Camp – Strategic Planning
Jewish Council for Youth Services – Strategic Planning
Isaac Agree Downtown Synagogue – Strategic Planning & Financial Modeling
Honeymoon Israel & Togethering – Strategic Change Management
The Jed Foundation – Strategic Development Planning, Change Management & Implementation
Collaborative for Applied Studies in Jewish Education – Strategic Development Planning, Change Management & Implementation
Atra – Strategic Development Planning, Change Management & Implementation
These are not one-off projects. Many of these are extended, evolving engagements that reflect the deep investment we make in our clients’ missions.
We don’t just work for you. We work with you.
We become part of your team. We care about the outcomes because we care about the people and communities they serve.
Our work is grounded in the conviction that nonprofits are vital to a thriving society. Supporting their health and success means supporting a more just, compassionate, and connected world. That’s the kind of impact we’re proud to be a part of.
So to our partners: Thank you.
Thank you for your trust, your collaboration, and the shared sense of purpose that makes this work so meaningful. As we look ahead to the last few months of the year, we remain energized by what we’ve already built, and excited for what’s still to come.
Takeaway Tip
As we head into our busiest season, take a moment to let your partners know just how much your working relationship means. Gratitude is a powerful force— for relationships, for leadership, and for growth.
