Yossi is available for a two-hour consultation session free of charge to JFN members. Yossi can help members think through the following questions and more:

• How can I fund now in ways that enhance my overall philanthropic goals?
• How should I plan my overall 2024 charitable budget in light of the crises?
• How should I address the tension between immediate relief needs and longer-term needs?
• Should the war in Israel change my percent allocations domestically and to Israel?
• In this time of crisis, how should I balance due diligence and grant oversight against speed and cutting bureaucracy?
• How do I know if the things I’m asked to fund are really necessary, credible and likely to have impact?

The free consultation is not limited to questions related to the current crisis and can cover any question you have about your philanthropy.
