The Jane K. Boorstein Endowment for Community Conversations

Honoring Jane’s lifelong work empowering local people to create change in their own communities.

This endowment will support:


LOWO projects in the field
Our longstanding partnership with the International Institute of Rural Reconstruction (IIRR) remains strong. We plan to work with IIRR to expand our community conversation model to additional geographic locations in Asia and Africa.

Lecture Fund & Student Fieldwork Grants
The endowment will create a new lecture series at Teachers College at Columbia University focused on social transformation through improved community communication. The endowment will also provide small grants to students for field research.

Further partnerships
We are actively seeking to establish partnerships with similar organizations to broaden the impact of Jane's vision through community facilitation.
