Who We Are

The Natan Fund inspires people to become deeply engaged in Jewish giving by funding innovative organizations that are shaping the Jewish future. Natan is a giving circle: Members pool their funds and support new and undiscovered ideas, primarily through an annual multi-stage grant review process. Members experience proactive, intentional grantmaking through sitting on the board and grant committees, attending regular events, traveling together, conducting site visits, and through many other opportunities for learning.

Natan is a small and constantly evolving organization with a smart, warm, and growing

staff. Members of our team need to be flexible, collaborative, and willing to perform all of the tasks associated with running a small organization and office with enthusiasm and with excellence.
