Case Studies
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, The Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA) hired ABW Partners to pursue initiatives that will aid Jewish Federations in achieving philanthropic growth and deeper impact.
Reimagination and Fortification of an Advancement Program
The confluence of organizational changes signals an opportunity for an expanded vision to achieve a deeper impact. Dr. David Bryfman, Jewish Education Project's visionary CEO, hired Andrea Wasserman to reimagine its advancement program and lay a strong foundation for high-growth.
“We engaged ABW Partners to manage a strategic planning process, and from the very first conversation, Andrea showed up as a leader and truth-teller who always asked the important and provocative questions.
Her objective wasn’t simply to deliver a plan, but to catalyze a bold change management process. She made sure that we mobilized all the right stakeholders and considered all the institutional variables.
The result has been a complete and positive transformation of a legacy initiative that still follows Andrea’s roadmap with exponential success and growth nearly five years later.”
— Rabbi David M. Kessel, Associate Vice President, Young Leadership & Next Gen Engagement, The Jewish Federations of North America

“Andrea had an uncanny ability to learn our work, culture, challenges, and opportunities quickly. As our scope of work expanded, Andrea brought important insights into the trajectory of our organizational growth and forecasted for us the necessary staffing adjustments.
Most of all, Andrea brings a truly principled generosity of spirit to how she does her work. I cannot recommend her highly enough!”
— Yona Shem-Tov, Encounter Programs, Executive Director
