Slingshot’s mission is to strengthen innovation in Jewish life by
developing next-generation funders and providing resources to leverage
their impact in the Jewish community. To address this mission, Slingshot
facilitates networks and run programs for the three central
stakeholders of Jewish innovation:
- Next generation funders
- Innovative organizations
- Funders of Jewish innovations
Since its inception, Slingshot has grown to become an important
funding source, a closely watched seal of approval, and a leading voice
advocating for innovation in Jewish life. For the first time this year,
Slingshot also published two supplements
to accompany the Slingshot Guide. The supplements, Disabilities &
Inclusion, and Women & Girls, each recognize Jewish organizations
supporting specific populations in novel ways.
