While the collaborative has evolved, a constant has been the Jim Joseph Foundation’s parameters for, and commitment to, co-funding local initiatives in ten communities. To date, initiatives have been funded in Boston, Denver/Boulder, New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles totaling nearly $32.8 million. Over the next eight to ten years, these initiatives will collectively reach and engage tens of thousands of teens in meaningful Jewish learning experiences. Total investment by the collaborative’s end date over that same time period may reach as much as $70 million.
