How to Create a Culture of Philanthropy at Your Camp

In January 2013, JCamp 180 Mentor Laurie Herrick led a discussion with camps that have successfully woven development into the fabric of their camps. In this highly interactive webinar, Laurie was joined by Naomi Skop Richter of JTFN to share stories of these camps that have created a culture of philanthropy. Naomi also discussed how JTFN's philanthropy programs at camp have brought philanthropic thinking to campers and young staff at Jewish Camps.

Gaining partners to support the mission of your camp is more than simply asking for money. How do you instill a culture of philanthropy that permeates every level of your camp, from the Board to Staff to Counselors and even Campers?

The Webinar recording and other resources below can help you learn how others have successfully instilled a culture of philanthropy at their camps.
