Communal Advancement
It is time to build on the extraordinary
work of those who have come before us—indeed the work that many of you have
done—to finally transform Ben-Gurion’s dream of the Negev into reality, making
it a vital part of Israel. The Israeli government is moving forward with
infrastructure. Route 6 is nearing Beer Sheva. Army bases with human resources
of immeasurable value to the Negev are being relocated. Our partners have
existing projects and new programs with the capacity to infuse the Negev with
excellence in education, programs to transform risk into opportunity for youth,
the disabled, for minorities and small businesses. But they cannot do it alone.
It’s time. Time to take the next step. Time to finally transform and unleash the
power of the Negev. Israel’s future depends on
it.

Jewish
Federations of North America Communal Advancementreflects a strategic focus and effective mechanism for proactively
addressing crucial imperatives above and beyond—that precede or
exceed—traditional federation funding.
Jewish Federations of North
America/CA professionals, collaborating with individual philanthropists,
foundations and communities, seek to identify opportunities and apply novel
approaches to solving pressing challenges.
Through Jewish Federations of
North America/CA, you can align your unique philanthropic vision with these
vital issues through designated outright or planned giving, or
participation in a venture approach with other like-minded donors. Whatever the
vehicle, Jewish Federations of North America's Communal
Advancement capitalizes on the size, strength, capabilities and track
record of Jewish Federations of North America to optimally leverage your
investment—ensuring that your dollars do the most good.
Issues At Jewish Federations of North America
Communal Advancement, we scan the Jewish world each year to identify critical
issues that are consistent with Jewish Federations of North America’s mission
and are fundamental to advancing our Jewish community—whether next door or
around the world. The goal is not to engage in every issue but rather to
concentrate with laser-like intensity to deliver results on a focused set of
issues that meet one or more of the following criteria:
> Are at a critical tipping point—if we do not act
now we lose a transformative opportunity
>
Innovative high-impact responses are ongoing but severely under-funded
> Innovative, new high-impact responses are ready to
be put into motion but require seed capital to
launch
Strategic Objectives All Jewish Federations of
North America/CA initiatives have clearly defined strategic objectives that meet
the issues head on. While critical and transformative, they can only be achieved
through outside funding.
Consider the opportunity to address one of
these concerns. Again, these initiatives extend beyond—or may precede or
exceed—traditional federation funding efforts. But they are no less fundamental
to our future as a people. Your commitment can make the
difference.
