    Jay and Shira Ruderman are a husband and wife who run a foundation created with the wealth of Jay's father Mort. The Ruderman Family Foundation has become synonymous with the cause of disability inclusion. In 2020, however, they decided to choose a new vanguard to fund and faced some public criticism for that decision. What are the expectations when a funder exits a field? What other causes out there are currently unfunded and unheard of? How can the champions of those causes approach family foundations? We talk about these questions and more in a wide ranging interview with this prolific husband and wife funding team.

Season Sh3 highlights women in our sector and explores the unique experiences of being woman-identified in philanthropy. Hosted by Dave Moss, who started Unfunded List in 2015 to help make sure that the next generation of changemakers get the feedback and recognition they need to be successful. Our mission is to demystify and open the door to private philanthropy for the general public while providing a platform for our guests to discuss their life's work. Unfunded List reviews funding proposals twice annually from small and mid-size nonprofits and social impact startups. The 200+ philanthropy experts on our evaluation committee give helpful and candid feedback about each grant proposal’s weaknesses & strengths. Then we publish the best proposals to our list that we circulate to a rolodex of foundations and philanthropists in the hopes that we can find some funding and partnerships for these amazing unfunded proposals. Unfunded List is currently accepting proposals for our Spring 2019 evaluation round until March 15, 2019. We invite your org to join the Unfunded List awardees and 100+ other projects that our funding evaluators have given feedback to since 2015. Find out more and submit at www.unfundedlist.com.
