Funders Unite to Launch Special Needs and Disabilities Network | eJewish Philanthropy: Your Jewish Philanthropy Resource: " formation of a peer network of funders dedicated to elevating special needs and disability advocacy in the Jewish community.
The network is a 2 year initiative funded by the partners and administered by the Jewish Funders Network. An outgrowth of ADVANCE, the October 2010 conference on special needs held by The Ruderman Family Foundation, JFN, Jewish Federations of North America and Combined Jewish Philanthropies of Greater Boston, the network’s goal is to assess the current state of funding of special needs programs in the Jewish community, identify successes that can be duplicated on a larger scale, and bring attention to underserved areas that would benefit from additional funding. The network will feature a dedicated staff director, whose appointment will be announced at a later date."
