We are all people on the move,” – Chris Stone, President of the Open Society Foundations. Chris’s remarks riveted our attention at the 2016 Global Philanthropy Forum, at which we focused on “People on the Move” in search of opportunity, in search of safety, and in search of meaning. First, we explored the phenomenon of urbanization, and the capacity of localities to absorb the influx, as a new middle class emerges in such high- growth economies as China and India. Second, we considered ways to lessen the tragedy of 60-million migrants who, having been forced from their homes, are now in search of safety from persecution, deprivation or war. And finally we sought to better understand the allure of extremist groups for those who feel unanchored and are in search of meaning, of belonging and who make cruel choices with devastating and tragic consequences. A common thread throughout the meeting was the recognition that the solutions to the challenges faced require the attention of the public, private and civic sector, with the mantle of leadership passing from one to the other according to the task at hand. According to Chris, while political failures might have prompted the migrant crisis, philanthropy could help mitigate the human suffering and help societies adapt: “This isn’t philanthropy at the margins but philanthropy at the heart of modern society, philanthropy restoring reason after politics has abandoned her.” He called on GPF members to engage in a “global alliance for migration…based on the promise of migration, not the fear of it.” 1 2016 Global Philanthropy Forum Conference Deputy Secretary of State Antony Blinken struck a similar chord, noting ranks of violent extremist groups is that they feel “a sense of alienation, the strains placed on the international humanitarian system. He argued that marginalization…a sense of powerlessness in the face of perceived injustice.” governments have come to realize “the importance—and I would say even He advocated strategies for engaging, rather than shunning those most the necessity—of harnessing the great reservoir of talent that exists within at risk. our innovation and philanthropic communities to meet our most pressing GPF members came ready to learn and left equipped to act. After all, since challenges… No single NGO, no single humanitarian organization, no single its founding in 2001, the GPF’s purpose has been to build a peer learning country can meet the challenges of today alone.” We must join forces. network of philanthropists and social investors committed to taking on Participants were seized of the moral imperative of helping those in danger. hard international problems.

Oxford practitioners, policymakers, analysts and activists seeking to grapple with scholar Alexander Betts offered a way of providing livelihoods for refugees some of the hardest problems we face. I hope that their words will inspire, in the frontline state of Jordan, by creating special economic zones where inform and empower—as they did for those in the room. Syrian migrants could create enterprises, earn livelihoods and contribute to the economies of their host countries without competing with local populations for scarce jobs. Thus they would avoid the physical danger of being smuggled to across the Mediterranean. And Elias Bou Saab, the Lebanese Minister for Education, spoke of ways his ministry might provide an education to the 450,000 Syrian refugee children who he is committed to help educate. As is always the case, GPF members sought to better understand the underlying causes of the current crisis as well as its cures—so as to contribute to a preventive strategy where possible. They struggled with the political failures of collapsing Syria, a fraying EU, and a frightened US, seemingly unable to accept women and children in desperate need, instead allowing fears of terrorism to overwhelm our sense of obligation, our sense of who we are. Finally we sought to understand the danger terror groups pose not only to us, but to the innocents who seek refuge in stable states like ours, Canada or Europe. We tried to imagine what attracts new adherents to ISIL, to Boko Haram, or to white supremacist groups here at home, what motivates them to acts of terror. And, we asked whether—in a paradoxical twist—migrants fleeing for their lives, but being turned away from stable societies, might ultimately find a greater welcome among those terror groups that drove them from safety to begin with. Could it be that a migrant policy aimed at protecting us from terror might actually expand the danger? In working groups, Will McCants of Brookings offered philanthropists a thoughtful analysis, differentiating among terror groups, the distinct appeal of each, and the strategies for countering them.

  • Working Paper: Do Not Cite Or Circulate Without Permission
    THE COPENHAGEN TEMPTATION: RETHINKING PREVENTION AND PROLIFERATION IN THE AGE OF DETERRENCE DOMINANCE Francis J. Gavin Mira Rapp-Hooper What price should the United States – or any leading power – be willing to pay to prevent nuclear proliferation? For most realists, who believe nuclear weapons possess largely defensive qualities, the price should be small indeed. While additional nuclear states might not be welcomed, their appearance should not be cause for undue alarm. Such equanimity would be especially warrantedWORKING if the state in question PAPER: lacked DO other attributesNOT CITE of power. OR Nuclear acquisition should certainly notCIRCULATE trigger thoughts of WITHOUT preventive militar PERMISSIONy action, a phenomena typically associated with dramatic shifts in the balance of power. The historical record, however, tells a different story. Throughout the nuclear age and despite dramatic changes in the international system, the United States has time and again considered aggressive policies, including the use of force, to prevent the emergence of nuclear capabilities by friend and foe alike. What is even more surprising is how often this temptation has been oriented against what might be called “feeble” states, unable to project other forms of power. The evidence also reveals that the reasons driving this preventive thinking often had more to do with concerns over the systemic consequences of nuclear proliferation, and not, as we might expect, the dyadic relationship between the United States and the proliferator. Factors 1 typically associated with preventive motivations, such as a shift in the balance of power or the ideological nature of the regime in question, were largely absent in high-level deliberations.

  • The Bush Revolution: the Remaking of America's Foreign Policy
    The Bush Revolution: The Remaking of America’s Foreign Policy Ivo H. Daalder and James M. Lindsay The Brookings Institution April 2003 George W. Bush campaigned for the presidency on the promise of a “humble” foreign policy that would avoid his predecessor’s mistake in “overcommitting our military around the world.”1 During his first seven months as president he focused his attention primarily on domestic affairs. That all changed over the succeeding twenty months. The United States waged wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. U.S. troops went to Georgia, the Philippines, and Yemen to help those governments defeat terrorist groups operating on their soil. Rather than cheering American humility, people and governments around the world denounced American arrogance. Critics complained that the motto of the United States had become oderint dum metuant—Let them hate as long as they fear. September 11 explains why foreign policy became the consuming passion of Bush’s presidency. Once commercial jetliners plowed into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, it is unimaginable that foreign policy wouldn’t have become the overriding priority of any American president. Still, the terrorist attacks by themselves don’t explain why Bush chose to respond as he did. Few Americans and even fewer foreigners thought in the fall of 2001 that attacks organized by Islamic extremists seeking to restore the caliphate would culminate in a war to overthrow the secular tyrant Saddam Hussein in Iraq. Yet the path from the smoking ruins in New York City and Northern Virginia to the battle of Baghdad was not the case of a White House cynically manipulating a historic catastrophe to carry out a pre-planned agenda.

  • Teen Philanthropists Award $33900 in Grants to Eight Nonprofits
    FOR RELEASE: CONTACT: Alex Jacobs June 10, 2016 Marketing and Communications Officer (858) 279-2740 [email protected] TEEN PHILANTHROPISTS AWARD $33,900 IN GRANTS TO EIGHT NONPROFITS SECURING THE ESSENTIAL NEEDS FOR AT-RISK YOUTH SAN DIEGO – June 10, 2016 – The board of the Jewish Teen Foundation of San Diego (JTF), following a year-long experiential learning program about philanthropy, granted a total of $33,900 to eight nonprofits working to address essential needs for at-risk youth. JTF hosted a Community Check Presentation Ceremony celebrating the 2015-16 grantees and the teen participants on May 15. During the 2015-16 school year, twenty-five San Diego Jewish high schoolers collaborated to assess community needs, learn about nonprofit organizations and identify opportunities to effect change through strategic philanthropy. As a result, they awarded grants to ELEM/Youth in Distress in Israel, Just in Time for Foster Youth, Jewish Federation of San Diego, Monarch School, North County Lifeline, Reality Changers, Voices for Children and Yemin Orde Youth Village. Notable to this year’s grantmaking focus, the JTF program officers decided the best way to invest in these organizations was to fund infrastructure to ensure organizational sustainability. “What JTF participants are doing is very smart and forward thinking,” said Jeremy Pearl, Acting President and CEO of the Jewish Community Foundation. “They are helping to give voice to the narrative that strong infrastructure means a strong organization. JTF is a program of the Jewish Community Foundation (JCF) of San Diego, which has a 19-year history of providing philanthropy education programs designed uniquely for teens.

  • Jewish Communal Fund's Generous Donors Had A
    his has been a record-breaking year for the Jewish Communal Fund, the donor-advised fund of the Jewish community of greater New York. We are very pleased that our donors distributed almost $300 million to thousands of worthy charities during the fiscal year Tending June 30, 2011. This represents the largest amount and number of grants recommended in a single year during JCF’s nearly four decade existence. Moreover, this extraordinary generosity was manifested in the midst of a prolonged economic downturn, while charities are struggling and especially grateful for the grants that have allowed them to maintain their necessary contribution to society. The Jewish Communal Fund is dedicated to providing our donors and their families with professional and efficient personal service—and the philanthropic community has taken notice. JCF received a four-star rating (the highest distinction possible) from Charity Navigator, an independent and well- respected charity evaluator. We were honored to be the highest-ranking Jewish organization in the Chronicle of Philanthropy’s Top 400 national charities list, at No. 35. JCF also ranked third in The Chronicle’s list of most money raised among New York-based organizations. On the personnel front, Ellen Israelson recently was appointed Vice President of Marketing and Donor Relations, replacing our longtime staff member Abby Tucker, who relocated after 13 years of dedicated service. Ellen will expand JCF’s marketing efforts and oversee the development of services for all donors, including enhanced services for the Private Client division. IFT L We also engaged Michelle Lebowits to lead JCF’s Center for Next Generation Philanthropy— the gateway for young Jews in their 20s and 30s to become involved in philanthropy.
