You have left off the list questions like:
Is supporting the right wing settlers in the West Bank a collective responsibility?
Is supporting human rights activists that are fighting for Arab rights a collective responsibility?
Is supporting the Chareidi population who choose to live in poverty while the bulk of its workforce sit in Yeshivas and study for the benefit of the entire world’s Jewish population a collective responsibility?
Is supporting the liberal human rights activists that are fighting the Chareidi expansion in Israel a collective responsibility?

Another example is (and I apologize if people feel that I am abusing the forum), I am looking at putting together an organization that will empower members of the Chareidi community to engage in organic urban gardening to address issues of poverty and food security. I am now weighing up whether to approach individual philanthropists, NGO’s or governmental bodies. Perhaps I should approach companies who would take it as a social responsibility project with press value. Either way, whoever I approach and depending on how I chocolate coat it, will have to pass a value judgment to decide whether it is a just and deserving cause or not.

Clearly there are many organizations, each believing that they are serving the nation, whose efforts are in conflict with each other. Putting all fund raising bodies together will place the burden of inclusion or exclusion based on ideology or religious grounds. Who will sit on such a bench? How will one raise funds from communities with divergent ideologies? Who will decide how to weald this enormous influence in the Israeli socio-religio-political scene?

My feeling is that in this current age of confusion organizations should be kept small, specialized and hungry with a special emphasis on transparency and governance.

However…

It’s just not working. An appeal for Jewish collective responsibility is not going to resonate with teens and young adults, for whom anything that smacks of particularism is a turn-off. I do think that collective action is desirable – even necessary, but as an outcome, not as a demand. Jewish collective responsibility will emerge from really cool projects that serve as magnets to draw younger Jews into a community framework. Such projects will need to provide Jewish lenses on the big themes that are most relevant for the coming generation, such as interfaith; globalism; environmentalism; social media; arts & culture. What we need is for the major Jewish philanthropic, global organizations to stimulate eye-popping, jaw-dropping, great-big-hairy projects in these areas – a far cry from the traditional federation allocations-based annual fund distribution model. Much easier said than done, I know, but if our major Jewish institutions don’t evolve they will ultimately be replaced.

The big challenge is not how do we make a case for collective Jewish responsibility, it’s how do we ensure that being Jewish remains relevant in a new world? Solve that question and collective responsibility will be restored.

I am sure there are others who feel their priorities also belong on this list — but since you asked the question of, “what” I felt compelled to chime in.

Great thinking piece though!
