This facilitated conversation will bring together senior leaders in fundraising, donor relations, marketing, and communications for an open, practical discussion about how Canadian Jewish organizations are engaging, retaining, and stewarding donors amid rising antisemitism, increased polarization around Israel, donor fatigue, and a rapidly shifting public environment.

The session will feature insights from Jeff Rum, Co-Founder of Storyraise, who works closely with Jewish and Israel-focused nonprofits across North America, Israel, and Europe to strengthen donor relationships through digital storytelling, impact reporting, and personalized donor communications.

Topics we will explore include:
How Jewish donors in North America are feeling right now, and how that is affecting giving behavior
What donors need beyond emergency appeals to stay connected and committed
How storytelling can build trust, pride, and belonging in a complex public climate
Practical ways organizations are using digital tools and personalization to retain and steward donors
How to communicate impact clearly and credibly, even when the news cycle is overwhelming

The goal is shared learning, candid conversation, and insightful takeaways you can apply immediately within your organization.
