The 5-year strategic plan was adopted by the Board of Directors in the fall of 2016. The plan describes the primary objectives, ways, and means for the development of the Louis August Jonas foundation for the fiscal years 2017-2021.

Executive Summary of Update

• Data from the five years of operating 4-week camp seasons, since 2015, indicate that the quality of the program has been maintained, compared to 7 weeks.

• Budget and expenses are stable. Fundraising will need to increase 20% to result in sustainable annual portfolio withdrawals.

• Given the current level of fundraising, it is unrealistic to expect to raise funds at a level that would allow for the reopening of the Red Hook campus.

• We continue to own and to maintain the Red Hook property, using it for camper activities in the summer, and for hosting alumni events.
