Abstract:

The annual campaigns are no longer the total measure of success in federation fund raising, as revenues from endowments and participatory funds soar. This massive growth of funds under the federation umbrella that are not subject to the allocations process poses significant challenges. Federations are increasingly becoming facilitators for big givers, rather than controllers of communal spending.
