How to make an impact
Rashi’s approach to measuring social impact examines not only the outcomes of an activity among its direct beneficiaries, but also the change in wider circles – from the community and the region to the nationwide level.
The impact report of the Rashi Foundation presents the principles that underlie this approach, along with its implementation in case studies.
Partnerships
Rashi believes that working together with partners is the best way to create effective systemic change. Partnerships, and cross-sector collaboration in particular, form the basis for developing initiatives, scaling them and ensuring their sustainability.
We cooperate with government ministries, municipalities, philanthropies, civil society organizations, and the business sector. The overall impact is multiplied when the partners combine their strengths while pooling and leveraging their resources.
