Nathan Cummings Foundation is pleased to announce the publication of Visioning Justice and the American Jewish Community a report that-after much research, analysis, and reflection of the field of Jewish social justice-identifies a ripeness of opportunity for organizations and individuals together - to create a powerful vision and develop coordinated strategies to bring the field to the next level of visibility, influence, and impact. This report offers key strategic directions for engaging more American Jews, more effectively, in issues of social and economic justice.
NCF seeks through this inquiry and report to engage and influence the Jewish community - that we may make more fully manifest our shared values, building movements for justice in this country and around the world. Our hope is that Visioning Justice will serve our grantees, funding colleagues, and the broader field.
