** A pianist, a trio, a trust: What keeps everyone in tune at American Jewish World Service
------------------------------------------------------------
American Jewish World Service was built on a commitment to respecting and supporting local solutions, putting more power in the hands of grantees. In conversation with PEAK's Satonya Fair, AJWS President and CEO Robert Bank explains how that commitment extends to their grants managers, who, with an in-country team and grantee partners, create a magical “trio” effect.

** PEAK in Community
------------------------------------------------------------
The latest news about our sector partnerships and how PEAK is advocating for more equitable grantmaking practices at conferences, convenings, and community conversations.

February was another month of connecting with new and old partners, including the National Center for Family Philanthropy, Center for Effective Philanthropy, and the Edyth Bush Institute for Philanthropy & Nonprofit Leadership.

President and CEO Satonya Fair joined the United Philanthropy Forum's Public Policy Committee as we seek to expand our advocacy.

Programs and Knowledge Director Melissa Sines joined Satonya on the mainstage of Florida Philanthropy Network's annual conference, and to provide support for their Grants Managers Affinity Group.

The Equitable Evaluation Initiative "Making the Case Collaboratory" kicked off last month with our partners GEO, Funders Together to End Homelessness, and Southern California Grantmakers co-hosting and participating alongside 21 members to reflect and unpack evaluation practices.
