From Immediate Relief to Lasting Impact: Using Philanthropy to Build a Responsive Field
The current multi-faceted crisis in Israel calls more than ever for long-lasting solutions that go beyond immediate assistance to bring relief. Indeed, philanthropists are eager to bring about systemic change.
The leaders of The Forum to Address Food Insecurity and Poverty in Israel hold valuable experience in tackling the complex issue of food insecurity. Although “Field building” was never explicitly a goal of the Forum, a retrospective case study research points to a set of strategies that ultimately contributed to the establishment of a vibrant still-evolving field to address food insecurity in Israel.
Their insights may now assist philanthropists in addressing urgent and complex problems: The struggle against crime in Arab society, facing the challenge of creating an ecosystem and harnessing an indifferent government that seems unwilling to address the problem holistically.
The acute mental health crisis in Israel, calls for balancing immediate relief with the need for in-depth learning to develop effective responses.
