Jewish Federations across the country also fund local agencies, and collaborative vehicles like the Jewish Community Response and Impact Fund have pooled resources from multiple foundations.
How do I find Jewish grant opportunities for my organization?
Start with your regional Jewish Federation, which often funds local agencies and can point you to community resources. From there, research dedicated national funders whose priorities match your mission, and use grant databases to identify foundations active in your program area. Most funders require 501(c)(3) status, and many fund within specific geographies or focus areas, so confirm eligibility before applying.
