Rassen and Associates

A Leader in Ensuring Strong, Effective Organizations

In her 29 years at Jewish Family and Children’s Services, Ms. Rassen succeeded in expanding a small social service agency with three offices serving 6,000 people a year to its 2006 $28 million budget and service to over 55,000 people annually. This growth was accomplished in part by obtaining seed grants for major new innovative programs, partnering with regional and national major institutions and bringing state-of-the-art efficiencies to JFCS.

The programs initiated and run by Ms. Rassen at JFCS operated with a business model that made them self-sustaining. This enabled JFCS to move away from financing models that relied solely on the government or foundations for continued existence. Ms. Rassen built several divisions at JFCS that have successfully effected change and capacity to generate revenues for the organization. Through Ms. Rassen's efforts and business savvy, over 60% of the organization’s operating budget still comes from fees.
