The New Orleans Jewish Community Center developed a strategic plan to determine how best to rebuild, redefine, and recreate a meaningful JCC for New Orleans post Hurricane Katrina.Ignition Grantee Reflections: Impacts and Learnings:
“Where are we now, what did we accomplish, and what have we learned?”
“The Ignition Grant helped revitalize the Jewish Community Center in New Orleans and our satellite center in Metairie. Because of the strategic process, the JCC is now thriving. As a matter of fact, we have just begun a Capital Campaign that will take Jewish programming and services to an even greater level. The Ignition Grant gave us the tools to make Jewish life better for all New Orleanians.”
—Leslie Fischman, JCC Executive Director
