Guides for Intelligent Giving are topical, user-friendly research reports for funders, published by JFN. Some, like our recent guides on participatory grantmaking and impact investing, highlight tools and strategies that are popular in the broader philanthropic community and explore how they are applicable to Jewish funders. Others focus on a challenge facing the Jewish community, map out the background and current status, and detail a wide range of funding approaches to solving the problem. All are downloadable and free!
