Professional Advisory Network

Create meaningful relationships that will ultimately advance the philanthropic interests of the Jewish community.

We believe professional advisors are excellent at providing charitable giving advice which is different than solving philanthropic problems.

We believe donors are generous and often need assistance in narrowing and deepening their connection to community philanthropy.

We believe the Professional Advisory Network will leverage relationships between advisors and nonprofit organizations to increase community philanthropy and help build a stronger community. 

We believe creating a network for donors and philanthropic advisors to join, feel value, develop clarity and philanthropic focus will ignite exponentially more impact in our community.

We believe meaningful engagement with the Professional Advisory Network will help to build the connective tissue of the philanthropic community.
