About grants for jewish nonprofits

Jewish nonprofits draw on one of the most developed networks of dedicated funders in American philanthropy. Local and regional Jewish Federations (coordinated nationally through Jewish Federations of North America) allocate community funds, while large family foundations such as Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Philanthropies, the Jim Joseph Foundation, the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Foundation, the Maimonides Fund, and the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation fund Jewish education, engagement, and community life.

A long list is the starting point, not the shortlist. Our grant prospecting guide shows how to narrow grants for jewish nonprofits down to the funders most likely to say yes, using their giving records.

Which foundations fund the Jewish community?

Major dedicated funders include Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Philanthropies, the Jim Joseph Foundation, the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Foundation, the Maimonides Fund, and the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation. 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.
