Melton Lecture: Donors, Data, and Disruption: How Jewish Philanthropy Is Changing in America

Thursday, January 8, 1:00 - 2:00 PM ET
Online, via Zoom

A new generation of Jewish donors is transforming how American Jewish life is funded and shaped. In this forward-looking Melton+ session, scholar, researcher, and futurist Dr. Steven Windmueller unpacks how technology—from AI and mobile apps to data analytics and crowdfunding—is upending traditional models of giving.

Drawing on his latest research, Dr. Windmueller traces the rise of boutique foundations, decentralized donor networks, and emerging values that prioritize innovation, transparency, and impact. What does this philanthropic disruption mean for Jewish identity, leadership, and communal priorities? Join us to explore the forces reshaping the future of Jewish giving.
