The 2010 Survey is being conducted by Jumpstart in partnership in North America with The Natan Fund and The Samuel Bronfman Foundation and, for the first time this year, in Europe with the Pears Foundation and the ROI Community of Young Jewish Innovators. JumpstartJumpstart is an incubator, think tank, catalyst, and advocate for sustainable Jewish innovation. Founded in 2008, its mission is to develop, strengthen, and learn from emerging nonprofit organizations that build community at the nexus of spirituality, learning, social activism, and culture, in order to transform the broader Jewish community and the world. In addition to research and publications detailing the diversity and vitality of the Jewish startup sector and its growing influence on Jewish life, Jumpstart's signature initiatives include a joint venture with Community Partners to offer fiscal sponsorship to Jewish projects, and J Space, a Jumpstart-led project to create a multi-tenant nonprofit center for innovative Jewish organizations in Los Angeles. The Samuel Bronfman FoundationGuided by the vision of Edgar M. Bronfman, The Samuel Bronfman Foundation seeks to inspire a renaissance of Jewish life. The foundation's work is informed by the following principles: Jewish renaissance is grounded in Jewish learning; Jewish youth shape the future of the Jewish people; vibrant Jewish communities are open and inclusive; and all Jews are a single family. The Natan FundThe Natan Fund believes strongly in the power of innovative ideas to transform and strengthen the Jewish people. Supported by a growing group of young philanthropists, Natan makes grants to nonprofit organizations with annual operating budgets of under $1.5 million in a variety of program areas. Natan's members make all of the foundation's funding decisions, and because the Natan board pays the foundation's operating expenses, 100% of all other donations go directly to the organizations that Natan supports. The Pears FoundationThe Pears Foundation, established in 1992, is a UK-based organisation seeking to put the Jewish values of social justice into practice at home and abroad. It seeks to act as a catalyst to empower individuals, particularly young people, to become confident and active members of their community and country, by promoting positive identity based on education, social action and volunteering. JHub: The Jewish Social Action Hub in London is an operating programme of the Foundation. The ROI Community of Young Jewish InnovatorsROI is a global community of young Jewish innovators that was created by Lynn Schusterman as a partnership between the Center for Leadership Initiatives and Taglit-Birthright Israel. Since the first ROI Summit in 2006, ROI has grown to become one of the leading vehicles in the world for young Jewish innovators to network with peers, gain skills and get traction toward implementing their visions for the Jewish future. |
