David Bryfman: 
eJewish Philanthropy- May 2012

Article in eJewish Philanthropy quotes The Jewish Futures Conference:

New Competitive Environment- The 2012 Jewish Futures Conference publicity may best summarize the challenge today that is coming from the outside-

"In the 21st century, the landscape of Jewish life is shifting. Loyalty to institutions in the form of membership, affiliation, and financial support appears to be declining. At the same time, new forms of connecting and new modalities of social action are proliferating thanks to technology-driven platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and a host of others. We live much of our lives now “in the cloud,” a fluid space where we have access to people and ideas that transcends geographical and other boundaries. For a growing number of people, especially younger people, purposeful collaboration and forging intimate relationships no longer depend on joining or supporting institutions.”
