The Money Behind the Curtain
By Eden Gobuty, Senior Director of Development Operations
As residents, you know that you can rely on your receipts being reimbursed (if it’s an itemized receipt showing the date of purchase!) and your rent subsidy check arriving on time, juuuust before the next month’s rent is due. But there’s a key part of this system that isn’t as obvious: where does the money come from?
At Moishe House, almost 80% of our income comes from grants of all sorts—from big foundations such as the Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Foundation and Jim Joseph Foundation, to local Jewish Federations and small/medium foundations. The small but mighty Development Operations team at Moishe House leads the charge on grants, and includes:

- Eden Gobuty, Senior Director of Development Operations
- Lisa Cotherman, Senior Grants Manager
- Alex Lewison, Grants Associate
- Rachel Leibold, Manager of Development Data and Systems
- Josh Moritz, Grants Director
- Adam Rossano, International Director of Advancement (which includes significant grant writing)
- Sara Gottschalk, Development Administrative Coordinator
