Jewish Youth Philanthropy Programs Merge

Regarding the merger of B’nai Tzedek National with the Jewish Teen Funders Network, Harold Grinspoon, the Western Massachusetts-based philanthropist and the founder of B’nai Tzedek says:

I am so thrilled that the Jewish Teen Funders Network, which has helped to grow and expand the field of Jewish youth philanthropy, will now be the central address for teen philanthropy. Many of the B’nai Tzedek communities where teens have individual endowment funds are now engaging teens in youth foundations. Merging B’nai Tzedek with JTFN is a natural outgrowth of years of collaboration and mutual respect between the leadership of both of our organizations. I am inspired that future generations of teens are learning to give tzedakah and will be involved in nonprofit organizations in their local communities and beyond.
