Unlock the Power of Your Network with Paths by impala

In the philanthropic world, we all know how difficult it can be to build the right relationships to land that next big win. That’s why impala built Paths, their groundbreaking new networking and relationship cultivation product. Paths reveals how you are connected to any organization or decision maker in the social impact sector. Whether you want to partner with a peer for a co-funding initiative, or reach out to a prospective board member, Paths can get you there.

Attend this session on October 17th at 12pm EDT to learn all about this powerful new product to help you find and connect with those who can maximize your philanthropic impact.

Paths can directly connect you with prospective grantees for continued due diligence, help you collaborate with peers more efficiently by bypassing networking roadblocks, provide key capacity-building capabilities for your existing grantees, and chart your existing connections to high-impact individuals across the social impact sector

Thanks to impala’s partnership with the Jewish Funders Network, all JFN members and their grantees can enjoy an exclusive, generous discount to Paths.

With over 1 in 5 Jewish households in America being economically insecure, it's time to challenge the dominant narrative.
