Abstract:

Although the needs of the American Jewish community have never been greater, so are the potential financial resources. Endowments, private foundations, government funds, and United Way allocations generate significant financial resources and must be included in comprehensive financial planning. In addition, the engine that drives the entire communed enterprise —the annual campaign —must be retooled to appeal more effectively to today's new donors.
