Foundation Professional Services

Supporting New Executives

As the number of foundations has increased dramatically, philanthropists are increasingly selecting trusted business colleagues and family members to serve as the head professional for their foundations. While these executives often have outstanding analytic and management skills, many do not have the breadth of knowledge needed to fully engage the Jewish community on day one.

CEJP can accelerate the education process, by serving as an intensive resource during this time. Once we understand your needs and programmatic focus, we will arrange private meetings with local, national and international experts, service providers and leading foundation professionals who can provide you with a much more in depth understanding of your foundation’s areas of interest.

As part of the learning process, CEJP often develops customized Road Trips focusing on best practices in your areas of interest, identifies conferences for you to attend and invites you to high level briefings aimed at providing you with the information you want and need.

Similarly, CEJP continues to be there for you as you begin the process of identifying, researching, vetting, and negotiating giving opportunities, utilizing our library of over 600 projects. We will also assist you, should you desire, in trying to secure matching gifts and partnership opportunities when appropriate.

In short, CEJP will assist you in whatever way you need, free of charge, thanks to our sponsors.
