Thank you for your interest in applying for a grant from the Jewish Women’s Foundation of New York. This year we are offering three funding opportunities. Note that Small Grant applications, Domestic Grant concept letters and Israel Grant concept letters are no longer being accepted. If you have any questions, please contact Rebecca Garrison, Associate Director, at rebecca@jewishwomenny.org.
1. Small Grants (deadline passed): JWFNY supports small, start-up and emerging organizations by offering grants of up to $15,000 to those organizations with operating budgets of $750,000 or less. These small grants may be used for program support, general operating or capacity building services.
2. Domestic Grants (deadline passed): JWFNY funds projects that enable women to achieve long term economic security. JWFNY looks favorably upon projects that promote advocacy, foster social change, help build resources within the Jewish community and fill in the gaps between services that already exist. The Foundation will fund two year grants between $40,000 – $90,000 in the following areas: advocacy, career advancement, improved work place policies and practices and financial education.
3. Israel Grants (deadline passed): JWFNY is delighted to offer one or two year grants to Israeli based organizations that enable women to achieve long term economic security. The Foundation is particularly interested in providing women with increased access, opportunity and information to advance their own and their family’s long term economic sustainability. JWFNY looks favorably upon projects that promote advocacy, foster social change, help build resources within the Jewish community and fill in the gaps between services that already exist.
