Paul Kane, who raised billions of dollars for Jewish causes over a four-decade career, died suddenly last week at age 77.
Kane, who was born in Boston and lived in Chicago and the New York area, "was a mentor, leader, and guide to hundreds of Jewish professionals all over the country today who learned [from him] the art of relationship building and donor stewardship," Mark Medin, who succeeded Kane as head of fundraising at the UJA-Federation of New York, tells eJewishPhilanthropy.
"Billions of dollars have been raised by Jewish professionals around the country utilizing the sensitivity and skill-set people learned watching and being mentored by Paul," Medin says.
Kane, who headed the financial resource division of the New York federation, was "deeply caring about young professionals and took so much time to coach and advise people to be the best they could be," Medin says.
"He really trained a generation of fundraisers in the Jewish community."
