Venture Philanthropy Partnership (VPP)

FROM CONCEPT TO LAUNCH, A BUSINESS PLAN WITH HEART

The VPP, a group of entrepreneurial Jewish philanthropists in Philadelphia, wanted to improve the quality of life of people with disabilities and their families by providing affordable, accessible resources and highly individualized support. Our partner Claudia Zeldin was retained for one year to spearhead the creation of a fee-based intensive care management service and self-sustaining online resource center with Jewish Family and Children’s Service (JFCS) and nine other partner agencies. Claudia conducted a national and local competitive assessment, created an expansion recommendation plan, secured multiple partnerships, and developed a three-year business plan. As a result of our work, JFCS now offers an extensive sliding-scale, fee-based care management service for people with disabilities.

“From concept and research to planning and launch – Claudia’s leadership and drive have helped the VPP accomplish an amazing amount of valuable work in one year. Rarely, do things move this swiftly. The real bottom line is that the special needs community will be greatly helped through her efforts.”
