What Should Jewish Camp Fundraisers Read?




A few years ago, camp development professionals asked us where they should go to learn more about the field and keep up on emerging trends in fundraising.

In response, the JCamp 180 team drafted a list of recommended external eNewsletters and blogs on fundraising, communications, philanthropy, and more.

Later, we added a list of recommended conferences, membership organizations, and books for Jewish Camp Fundraisers.

These recommendations are still relevant. There are a few books we’d add to that list now – The Power of Moments by the Heath Brothers comes to mind – but the books on that list would still make the cut.

Is there a resource – blog, eNewsletter, book, or conference – that you rely on that we should add to this list? Let us know!
