Zeek's Partners

Zeek is an independent publication, not affiliated with any movement or
institution. However, because we are independent, we are proud to partner
with organizations that share our vision of a vital, integrated Jewish
culture. Zeek is grateful to acknowledge the support of:

The National Foundation for Jewish Culture (NFJC) is the leading advocate for Jewish cultural creativity and preservation in America. Since 1960, it has nurtured new generations of writers, filmmakers, artists, composers, choreographers and scholars. The NFJC's national and international conferences, partnerships with local communities and institutions, and sponsorships of annual grants and awards in the arts and humanities bring the best of Jewish culture to the Jewish community and the American public.

Dorot is the Hebrew word for "generations." Joy Ungerleider-Mayerson, Dorot's founder, chose the name to reflect her concern for the transmission of Jewish heritage through the generations. The Foundation's grantmaking demonstrates a commitment to the Jewish past, present and future by supporting activities in education, cultural institutions, social change in Israel and community funding.

The Natan Fund is a philanthropic network of young Jews seeking both to inspire other young Jews to donate money Jewishly and to fund innovative projects that help effect change in the Jewish community in the United States and Israel. Our members engage in ongoing, open discussions about global Jewish issues, sharing their thoughts and ideas with each other and thereby shaping the funding strategies that Natan believes are most significant to the Jewish future. These conversations are part of a continual learning process that includes live interactions with some of the world’s most creative Jewish leaders and thinkers, including current and former heads of state and leaders of industry and culture.

The Independent Press Association's mission is to amplify the power of independent publications so as to foster a more just, open and democratic society. The IPA provides technical assistance, access to capital, and newsstand distribution services to over 400 member publications nationwide, including Mother Jones, Ms. Magazine, The Nation, Harpers and more.

The Council of Literary Magazines and Presses serves one of the most active segments of American arts and culture: the independent publishers of exceptional fiction, poetry and prose. Literary magazines and presses accomplish the backstage work of American literature: discovering new writers; supporting mid-career writers; publishing the creative voices of communities underrepresented in the mainstream commercial culture; and preserving literature for future readers by keeping books in print.

Hazon's mission is to create and support a range of programs, especially (though not exclusively) focused on Jewish outdoor and environmental education, in order to bring joy and meaning to people's lives and thus to foster new vision in the Jewish community and the world beyond. Hazon’s mission is rooted in the belief that outdoor and environmental education are vital and significantly under-utilized resources in Jewish life.
