We are offering grants of up to $1,000 to support programming in the areas of education, engagement, service, or advocacy to foster partnerships with the Jewish community.
We are looking for impactful programs that address the following:
- How can we forge relationships across communal lines?
- What are the best educational and/or community practices to fight hate and advance allyship?
- How can we sustain and and grow long-term relationships between the Jewish community and other faith-based/ethnic groups?
The program must be implemented by two or more faith institutions, ethnic groups, or organizations. They can be built around religious or national holidays, service opportunities, or programming related to local events or issues. Some possible ideas include educational/speaker events, shared meals around a holiday, intergenerational events, hosting different faiths at religious services, Diversity Day programming, joint security briefings for faith institutions, interfaith book clubs, and dialogue circles.
Education, advocacy, and building strong alliances with interfaith and inter-ethnic groups is essential to creating a community that does not tolerate hate. Through our work we strive to bring diverse groups together to learn from each other, promote understanding, and increase acceptance and tolerance. We hope to build on shared values to create strong and inclusive communities where residents feel safe.
Applications should be submitted by February 28, 2025. It is our intention to make awards in a deliberatively diverse manner, religiously, ethnically and geographically. The program must be executed and funds distributed by December 31, 2025.
