Last week, our Chief Advancement Officer Leah Guskin joined fellow nonprofit leaders and funders for “Inside the Modern Endowment,” a conversation about innovation in higher education and healthcare.

The discussion focused on the evolving role of philanthropy in supporting critical programs and strengthening long-term community impact. Leah shared how Jewish Family Service of Dallas builds meaningful connections through volunteer opportunities, thoughtful stewardship, clear messaging, and strong data practices.

Thank you to Communities Foundation of Texas and Bank of America for bringing together leaders across sectors for such a meaningful conversation.
