On today's edition of "Initiative Radio with Angela McKenzie" Angela pays a visit to the New York City headquarters of the B'nai Zion Foundation in Murray Hill, to chat with Campaign Director Justin Brannan.
B'nai Zion is a secular, apolitical organization that is just over a century old and its' core mission is raising funds for projects in Israel that improve the quality of life of underprivileged children regardless of their religious and ethnic background. Additionally, B'nai Zion hosts numerous recreational activities and employs on-line social networking strategies to engage multiple generations of Jewish people living in the United States.
Justin Brannan believes that B'nai Zion's transparent corporate culture, makes it easy for him to instill confidence in donors that their charitable dollars will be put to excellent use on the ground in Israel and not to pay hefty salaries of bureaucrats. A former Wall Street man with an extensive background in raising capital, Brannan finds fund raising for B'nai Zion his most rewarding assignment to date.
