JWFA Quarterly Newsletter: Summer 2018

Welcome to our Inaugural Quarterly Newsletter!

Greetings! We are excited to debut our inaugural quarterly newsletter! If you have been following us over the past year, you know it was monumental for JWFA. Not only did we celebrate our first five years, honor our founders, and complete a comprehensive strategic plan, but we also multiplied our impact through expanded grants, educational programming, and opportunities for engagement. Jewish Women's Fund of Atlanta promotes social change and creates positive opportunities for Jewish women and girls. Through the work of our grantee partners , we move closer to gender equity within the Jewish community. By engaging as JWFA Trustees , women throughout Atlanta pool their collective resources to achieve greater impact. As attendees at communal seminars and workshops , community members gain knowledge and understanding of important issues facing Jewish females. JWFA is about imagining the possibilities we can achieve as a collective. As we begin our 2018-2019 year, we are confident that it will bring us even closer to a level playing field so that our daughters and granddaughters can grow up with equal opportunities for success. Have a wonderful summer! Debbie Kuniansky (Chair) and Rachel Wasserman (Executive Director)
