Field Transformation Through Excellence in 21st Century Fundraising

The world of philanthropy continues to be shaped by extraordinary forces. Organizations grapple with a global pandemic, economic swings, and civil unrest amid the greatest intergenerational wealth transfer in history. With trillions of dollars expected to pass down in the next half-century, Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA) hired ABW Partners to pursue initiatives that will aid Jewish Federations in achieving philanthropic growth and deeper impact.

Introducing JFNA Financial Resource Development (FRD) Leadership Experience

With expertise in executing and teaching effective fundraising practice, ABW Partners designed an inaugural virtual campaign leadership experience for 525 lay and professional campaign leaders representing over 100 Jewish federations. Colleagues convened in over 80 virtual programs taught by top-notch faculty who utilized a customized curriculum designed to inspire and resonate.

Because of this FRD field-building experience's early-stage success, ABW Partners will continue to work with JFNA on transforming the Jewish Federation enterprise's fundraising practices and culture. In doing so, JFNA's top-tier lay and professional talent will achieve an even more pronounced impact through fundraising excellence.
