Episode 61 of What Gives?—the Jewish philanthropy podcast from Jewish Funders Network, hosted by JFN President and CEO Andrés Spokoiny. In this episode, we speak with Stephen Bronfman, a leader in Jewish philanthropy with a strong commitment to environmental activism, and Nigel Savage, a pioneer in Jewish environmental education and the founding CEO of the Jewish Climate Trust.
Together, we explore how their backgrounds—Stephen’s lifelong connection to the outdoors and family legacy of philanthropy, and Nigel’s journey from finance to Jewish environmental leadership—have shaped their efforts to mobilize Jewish funders and organizations in tackling the climate crisis. We also discuss Israel’s role as a hub for sustainability innovation and how climate action can connect Jewish values with social justice and global impact. Take a listen.
