Abstract:

The evolution of much of Jewish philanthropy from a communal base to an entrepreneurial market-driven base is one of the important subtexts of late twentieth-century Jewish America. This article explores the growth of Jewish foundations, their impact on communal structures, various models of foundation partnership and collaboration, and some projections for future development.
