In awarding grants from unrestricted community funds, the Jewish Community Foundation gives preference to grant requests from organizations located in the Greater Hartford area and to projects that have Jewish content.  The Foundation will consider grants to charitable organizations not serving exclusively Jewish needs when appropriate to alleviate extraordinary community problems or to address public issues of special concern to the Jewish community.

Jewish Community Foundation grants are made only to organizations that are described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and have been classified as public charities.

 

At this time, any eligible charities approaching the Foundation for support through its Community Grants Program will have two funding options to pursue: general grants and new initiative grants.  Only one application from any applicant or group of applicants will be considered each year.
