On September 10th IsraelGives is hosting the Israel NonProfit Summit, to be held in Tel Aviv, from 9am to 4pm. The website (in Hebrew) is: NPSummit2014.com <http://www.npsummit2014.com/>. The topic of the conference is the Present and Future of Philanthropy in Israel. There will be interesting panels: · Examining the real numbers of Israeli giving (with representatives of the Israel Central Bureau of Statistics) · Family philanthropy in Israel (with Joseph Gitler and the Recanati Family) · Corporate giving (Gil Kalian of Calcalist, Shirley Kantor, Zion Regev of Gazit-Globe, CSR rep of Bank Leumi, and Gilles Darmonde founder of Latet) · Eric Fleisch of Brandeis University will talk about American Jewish giving to Israel (he prepared a major report with Theodore last year) · Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein will talk about the IFCJ’s success in fundraising from American evangelical Christians · Whether social bonds will bring the capital market into the NGO world (Israeli Social Finance) · Impact philanthropy – How donors increasingly expect to impact, and not just give (Itzik Danziger) · The big future of the small donor (with IsraelGives CEO Yonatan Ben-Dor) Eric and Rabbi Eckstein will be speaking in English. The other panels will be in Hebrew. I and my Leket colleagues will be attending. I’d encourage you to as well. Registration can be done online at NPSummit2014.com <http://www.npsummit2014.com/>
