The New Social Economy: A Broader Mix of Players
Submitted by Steve on October 19, 2011
Lucy Bernholz writes for Sh’ma: A Journal of Jewish Ideas about philanthropy beyond Foundations:
What does it mean to be Jewish and philanthropic in 2011? Larry Moses wisely addresses this question from the perspective of the Jewish tradition of tzedakah. I am not a religious scholar; I am a philanthropy wonk. I study, write about, and consult with philanthropists on the changing ways we can create, fund, and distribute shared social goods such as education, health services, elder care, and cultural and artistic endeavors. My perspective on this question is to look at the modern business of giving, and to seek to apply those tools to the pursuit of justice.
