With the power of a $3.1 million grant from the AVI CHAI Foundation over three years, the Partnership for Excellence in Jewish Education (PEJE) has stimulated a six-figure investment from three communities in North America to address the very real challenge of day school affordability. The Generations pilot program , a three-way collaboration between PEJE, a federation or central Jewish agency, and AVI CHAI, seeks to transform the way schools fund their budgets by raising endowment and legacy gifts. The Generations program offers communities and schools expertise in building endowments through customized coaching, local and national training programs, assistance with potential donor identification, cultivation and stewardship, and the establishment of a national knowledge center to share best practices.
