We’re excited to bring you the next installment of JFN Venture Labs. In a departure from our usual program format, Venture Labs provides an opportunity for JFN members to hear about the work of selected organizations in a specified field and explore philanthropic partnerships.  Organizational leaders will.  Each presenter will spend ten minutes offering a high-level overview of their work and making a direct call for support. The format ensures a variety of strategies, concise presentations, and tangible opportunities for engagement.

In this second session of our Venture Labs series, you’ll meet three vital initiatives curated by The Social Venture Fund for Jewish-Arab Equality and Shared Society's (SVF) Israel Director, Batya Kallus. Each presenting organization is working to promote Jewish-Arab equality and shared society in Israel, together they represent a variety of approaches and a range of stages of organizational development and growth.

Batya will frame the topic for us and then each presenter will offer a fast-paced pitch with a clear case for why this work matters for the health, security and future stability of Israel and all of its citizens. Attendees will learn strategies for exploring funding in new areas, especially where language or cultural barriers may be an issue. Whether you currently fund in the field of shared society and equality or not, you’ll leave with valuable tools and perspectives…and possibly new grantee partnerships to pursue.
