Jewish Teen Funders Network

the jewish teen funders network (jtfn) serves as a central resource for the quickly growing field of jewish teen philanthropy. we work to grow and strengthen the field of jewish teen philanthropy in north america. we support professional and lay leaders to create and improve jewish teen philanthropy programs in synagogues, jewish federations, summer camps, jccs, jewish community foundations, social service agencies and day schools. we provide training and networking opportunities, educational and programmatic resources, and one-on-one consultations to help troubleshoot challenges or brainstorm new ideas. jewish teen philanthropy programs introduce teens to collective grantmaking. this group process is guided by jewish values and provides teen philanthropists-in-training with opportunities to gain new leadership skills. we believe that this early experience with strategic philanthropy will both strengthen their engagement with jewish life and ensure their commitment to lifelong giving b
