Abstract:

Despite the high level of communal funding for Jewish education, a leveling off and gradual decline are very possible in the near-to-medium future. This will necessitate a turning to both traditional (private Jewish) sources and especially to nontraditional, general (non-Jewish) extra communal sources to supplement communal support. These latter sources can be tapped primarily via grantsmanship.
