Abstract:

Current societal and fund-raising trends point to a great potential for Jewish endowment development that has yet to be realized. Using the university model of endowments, unrestricted endowment funds could be used in the federation allocations process to fund research, new programs, and capital equipment This coherent planmng process would ensure that the use of endowment funds would have long-lasting community impact.
