Growing from six founders to members across North America, we have created a network to:
1. Share information and best practices with one another.
2. Learn from experts in the broad field of non-profit philanthropy to enhance our own programs.
3. Strengthen and grow professional development opportunities in the synagogue world.

We are an affiliate of the Union for Reform Judaism and welcome inquiries from leaders of congregations of any denomination creating a culture of philanthropy. We also welcome inquiries from individuals considering a career in synagogue fundraising.

Why belong?

"ATID helped me to find colleagues who understand and provide invaluable support."
