Jewish Family and Children’s Service (JFCS)

Market Analysis & Business Planning to Expand Community Service

JFCS wanted to expand its supportive programs and services to ensure that Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transsexual (LGBT) Jews are fully integrated into all aspects of Philadelphia’s Jewish community. Our partner Claudia Zeldin conducted a national and local competitive market assessment as the basis for a program expansion process that would build JFCS’s internal capacity and operational structure, create strategic partnerships, and develop earned income opportunities. Our recommendations were captured in a three-year business launch plan with comprehensive revenue goals and programming outcomes to help JFCS better address the psycho-emotional needs of Philadelphia’s Jewish LGBT community.

“Claudia worked with our entire team—JFCS’s leadership, development, program and HR staff, plus our community task force and lead donor—to develop a solid plan for our LGBT Initiative. She has a unique understanding of grassroots advocacy work, program innovation, organizational design, and diversifying funding for success and sustainability.”
