How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Collective Impact Through Networked Actionmethodology: collective_impactBy funding collaborative models and weaving connections among grantees, funders, and leaders, we amplify field-wide impact because shared resources, influence, and relationships generate outcomes beyond the reach of isolated efforts.
- Field-Building Through Funder Education and Mobilizationmethodology: field-building_catalysisBy educating and engaging Jewish funders, we expand support for gender equity because inspiring values-aligned giving catalyzes broader investment and sustained commitment to the field.
- Gender-Lens Grantmaking for Systemic Changemethodology: gender-lens_grantmakingBy directing resources to organizations led by or deeply informed by self-identifying women and girls, we produce systemic social change because centering gender equity addresses root causes of inequality and transforms cultural, legal, and economic systems.
- Trust-Based Philanthropy to Strengthen Grantee Capacitymethodology: trust-based_philanthropyBy providing multi-year, general operating or project-based grants with minimal reporting requirements, we increase grantee autonomy and mission focus because trust reduces administrative burden and enables organizations to lead with agility and authenticity.
