The Fisher-Bernstein Institute for Jewish Philanthropy & Leadership (Brandeis University) has announced the launch of a professional development program for the Jewish community:
Development at the Core: creating a fundraising culture will be a nine-month program of study and action that intends to strengthen the Jewish community by helping communal professionals increase the annual fundraising capacity of their agencies and organizations.
The Development at the Core program is based on three premises:
- Annual fundraising is the platform for all development endeavors in successful nonprofit organizations
- Fundraising is the job of the whole organization and not just the development professional
- Fundraising in the Jewish realm requires a vision for the Jewish people and an appreciation for the Jewish meaning of giving and soliciting funds
You can find more information, dates, fees etc. on the Fisher-Bernstein site.

Thanks for posting the news about this innovative program. participants will have an opportunity to home skills, learn new techniques and enrich their understanding of both the dynamics and demographics of the current Jewish community as it engages with philanthropy as well as the enduring values that animate our work as development professionals. A limited number of places are still available for not more than thirteen organizational teams of at least two professionals which will become a global support network for each participant.
