• Fundraising responsibility is rarely light.

    Leaders responsible for raising funds are often working hard — sometimes harder than they would like — while juggling many other obligations.

    Even with real effort, fundraising can still feel heavy, unpredictable, and reactive.

    Weeks fill up.

    Urgent needs crowd out important work.

    Conversations happen, but it’s not always clear whether they’re moving things forward.

    The challenge is usually not a lack of commitment or motivation.

    More often, it’s the absence of clarity — about what truly matters right now, what should be prioritized next, and how to tell whether effort is actually turning into progress.

    What’s missing is not effort — but structure and clarity.

  • A structured approach to fundraising

    Clarity in fundraising doesn’t come from working harder.

    It comes from working with structure.

    The HighRaise approach reflects how experienced leaders bring order to their fundraising — by maintaining a clear line of sight between effort and results, even while managing many other responsibilities.

    Rather than reacting to the loudest urgency, leaders focus on a small number of disciplines that keep fundraising intentional and measurable:

    • Clarity about what matters most right now

    • Structure around how fundraising work is prioritized

    • Consistent accountability so effort moves things forward

    This approach keeps fundraising focused, sustainable, and grounded — without adding pressure or unnecessary complexity.

  • Who this work is for

    This work is designed for leaders of Mosdos Torah who personally carry fundraising responsibility.

    That includes leaders such as:

    • Executive Directors

    • Roshei Mosdos and Roshei Kollel

    • Senior leaders for whom fundraising is a core part of the role

    It is especially relevant for those who:

    • are accountable for real budgets and targets

    • balance fundraising alongside many other obligations

    • want structure and clarity, not slogans or pressure

    If fundraising sits at the center of your responsibilities, this approach will feel immediately recognizable.

  • 1:1 Fundraising Leadership Coaching

    This is a focused working relationship for leaders who want clarity, structure, and disciplined follow-through in how they approach fundraising.

    It is practical, grounded, and shaped around the responsibilities you carry and the goals you are accountable for.

    This work reflects patterns I’ve seen across many mosdos and leadership contexts including years spent fundraising directly inside mosdos Torah.

  • Here’s what leaders are saying;

    Rabbi Yitzchok Krausz, Executive Vice President, Cheder D’ Monsey

    "Avraham's organized mehalech in the world of fundraising assures that no balls are dropped and that each and every opportunity is maximized."

     

    Rabbi Raphael Landesman, Principal, Shearim Torah High

    "Avraham truly took us to the next level of donor development, and helped make our dream of a new building come true."

    Rabbi Menachem Deutsch, Founder, Olami Launch

    "There's no way I could raise the money I need to fund my organization without the guidance that Avraham is giving me."
