Robison Foundation for Jewish Elders convens a monthly gathering that brings together professionals, agencies, and organizations serving older adults, with a special focus on the needs and experiences of Jewish elders in our community.
This is a space to connect with colleagues, share ideas and resources, learn from one another, and discover opportunities to collaborate. By coming together regularly, we can build stronger relationships across organizations, better understand the services and programs available in our community, and identify ways to fill gaps and support one another’s work.
Our goal is to create a warm, welcoming network where those working with and on behalf of older adults can learn, collaborate, share expertise, and grow together—strengthening the community of services and connections available to Jewish elders and their families.
The second Wednesday of each month, from 9:00–10:30 AM.
We gather at different venues throughout the Portland area.
Please RSVP to info@rfje.org to be added to our list and receive information about upcoming meetings.
Up to $1,000 in matching funds will be available for Professional Development Grants. These reimbursement-based grants support individual staff members as well as teams seeking professional growth opportunities directly related to their work with elders.
Eligible uses include conferences, workshops, trainings, certification programs, courses and other skill-building opportunities that strengthen organizational capacity and leadership development. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis, with applications reviewed January 15, April 15, June 15 and September 15. Priority will be given to employees of grantee organizations and applicants should expect a reply within a month of applications being reviewed.
