How We Help: Support for Every Step
Whether you have a single question or want to design a comprehensive, long-term strategy, we meet you where you are. Our support is flexible and tailored to your needs. We can help you:
We can help you find effective, vetted organizations doing meaningful work to improve the community in areas you care about. Our deep community knowledge means we can make introductions and recommendations you can trust.
Sometimes the hardest part is knowing where to start. We facilitate conversations to help you pinpoint your passions, articulate your mission, and define what matters most to you and your family.
With a clear vision, we provide the research and expert guidance to build a strategic roadmap for impactful giving. This can be as simple as vetting a single organization or as comprehensive as a multi-year grantmaking plan.
We help you put your plan into action. This includes sourcing and vetting nonprofits, structuring effective grants, and connecting you with opportunities for learning and engagement, such as:
- Exploring Jewish Los Angeles: Access curated experiences and deep insights into the local Jewish community.
- Understanding LA’s Pressing Issues: Gain deep insights into the challenges and opportunities facing our local community.
- Leveraging Our Expertise in Israel: Tap into our extensive knowledge and networks to support meaningful causes in Israel.
- Engaging the Next Generation: Create meaningful opportunities to involve your children and grandchildren in philanthropy.
