Please join the Jewish Funders Collaborative convened by Philanthropy Massachusetts, for a timely and thought-provoking conversation:
 
This virtual session will feature:
Mike BerkowitzExecutive Director, Democracy Funders Network
Jeremy BurtonExecutive Director, Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Boston
Moderator: Rebecca Leventhal, Impact Investing and Strategic Philanthropy Expert

Together, we’ll explore:
· Why democracy has historically supported Jewish safety and flourishing in America
· The risks to Jews and other marginalized communities when democratic norms erode
· The potential tensions between civil liberties and combating antisemitism
· Practical strategies for funders looking to support democracy through a Jewish lens
 
Whether you're already active in this space or just beginning to explore how your philanthropy can help strengthen democratic systems, we hope you’ll be part of this important conversation.
