As we prepare the next rounds of funding, we want to ensure these resources have the greatest impact and reach the people in your community who need them most. To do that, we’ve launched a year-long listening project to hear directly from Jewish adults 65+ and those who care for them. Their insights will directly shape future grants and services.
Our Process to gather Insights
Step One: Join Our Panel
Sign up to participate in the RFJE Listening & Insights Panel. This ensures we can invite you to brief conversations and opportunities to share your perspective. Please complete the survey here
Step Two: Share Your Thoughts
Take part in a short survey and, if you choose, a one-on-one conversation. Your honest feedback helps us understand the real needs and experiences of Jewish older adults and caregivers in our community.
Step Three: Advisory Panel Consideration
Participants who wish to stay more involved may be invited to join a small advisory group. This group meets periodically to guide future grantmaking and help shape how we support older adults across the Portland metro area.
