Analysis-Federations • Annual campaign as core strategy is failing • Ideology and marketplace issues-Kol Yisroael Arevim Zeh Ba Zeh • Every decade-20% loss in number of donors; 15% loss in purchasing power • Last 5 years: 14.3% inflation- 3.2% campaign increase; 13% decline in donors • Supply side vs. Demand side Issues

  9. Attributes of Success • AFFLUENCE OF JEWISH COMMUNITY • JEWS SELF-IDENTIFIED AS JEWS • FEELINGS OF INSECURITY • ORGANIC CONNECTION TO ISRAEL • CONCEPT OF A SINGLE GIFT AND KEHILLA • NO COMPETITION

  10. Consequences • Long established…..but denied • Only 2 cities in largest 40 have experienced population growth • Donors tend to be older and largest gifts are flat • Only 35 gifts > $1 Million in 2002 • Role of special campaigns • Israel Getting 1/3 of what it received in 1948 from Federations—constant dollars
