Boca Raton, FL, US

I oversee two major philanthropic initiatives at the Jacobson Jewish Community Foundation: the Jewish Women’s Foundation (JWF) and Create a Jewish Legacy (CJL).• Jewish Women’s Foundation (JWF): Lead strategy, engagement, and grantmaking for a philanthropic community of women dedicated to improving the lives of Jewish women and children. Responsibilities include managing trustees, stewarding annual campaign gifts, coordinating grant processes, and hosting events such as our signature Granting Wishes program.• Create a Jewish Legacy (CJL): In partnership with the Harold Grinspoon Foundation’s LIFE & LEGACY initiative, I help local Jewish organizations grow their endowments through planned giving. This includes providing training, marketing support, donor stewardship, and tracking community benchmarks to ensure long-term sustainability.In addition, I collaborate on cross-foundation efforts in development, governance, and marketing, aligning fundraising strategies with broader Federation goals.
