Jewish Community Impact
Strategic consulting services for nonprofits and funders working to strengthen the Jewish community and build a more compassionate world.
Partners in Designing the Future Jewish Community
We envision a future in which evolving Jewish traditions and values inform and inspire lives of purpose and meaning, connection to caring community, and a more just, open, and inclusive world.
Our Jewish Community Impact team at Third Plateau works with Jewish leaders and organizations to navigate complex challenges with confidence, alignment, and self-awareness — helping them to increase their impact and drive meaningful social change within their organizations, the Jewish community, and the world.
How We Work
We build community.
We cultivate inclusive environments and work to build an ecosystem where there are many different avenues for people to connect with one another and find meaning in Jewish life.
We pursue justice.
We leverage Jewish wisdom and tradition, in our own practice and in collaboration with others, to pursue justice and equity both within and outside of the Jewish community.
We learn and grow.
We support those who are actively reflecting on how Judaism can inspire meaning today and in the future. We help them to learn from one another and the field in order to pursue bold ideas that strengthen and reimagine the future of the Jewish community and the world.
We practice joy.
We share in the joy and meaning that Judaism offers to individuals and the world.
