Strategic Planning and Fundraising in Covid Times – new Limmud course

21 January 2021 – 11 February 2021

Ever feel a bit (or a lot) awkward when asking for money? Especially in a middle of the pandemic? Come find out how Jewish sources invert our assumptions and make the giver the receiver and the receiver the giver. And then … learn how to use that approach and other strategies to bolster your organisation’s effectiveness and create a long term sustainability during this challenging time.

Join Director of Jewish Education at JDC David Levin-Kruss, renowned organisational and fundraising expert Karen Weissblatt and representatives from Limmud groups from across the continent and beyond for a new web-based interactive 4-part course. Our work together will help you increase your resilience and autonomy – and convince donors to engage with you.

The sessions will combine the study of Jewish sources concerning tzedaka with organisational knowledge. We will look at the ABC’s of managing an organization including: Strategic Planning; Mission, Vision and theory of change; Governance; Management, financial planning budgeting and fundraising. We will help you customize your approach to your regional context. The course will include a option of a 1:1 consultation of the themes of the course. The aims include to:
• Establish realistic goals, objectives & strategies;
• Ensure effective use of resources;
• Provide a base to measure progress;
• Develop consensus on future direction;
• Build strong teams and
• Problem solve major problems for your organization.

DATES & TIMES
Thursdays, 6.30-8.30pm CET
January 21 and 28, February 4 and 11

The course has been tailored for Limmud Teams and we are making it available for free for one delegate per Limmud group. However, we do expect a commitment to all four sessions. Leading up to a course, registered candidates have a brief interview session in order to assess their training needs.

For registration and any inquiries contact magda@limmud.org
