Grants
Grantmaking is at the heart of what we do. For 52 years, the Foundation and our donors have made grants to programs and charitable institutions, both Jewish and in the community at large, in Greater Hartford, in the U.S., and around the world.
Grants in Action
Together – through philanthropy – we can repair the world. When you open a fund with us, you join a community of generous, thoughtful donors. You strengthen the local Jewish community and communities around the world.
Apply for a Grant
The Foundation accepts grant proposals on a rolling basis. They are reviewed by Foundation staff and a Grants Committee comprised of volunteer community members, and approved by the Foundation’s Board of Trustees.
Grants at Work
The Foundation has a responsibility to invest its community grant dollars in the long-term strength and vitality of our community. Grants should support strategic programs and services that address a clear need in Greater Hartford’s Jewish community.
Israel Experience Scholarships
We call it an immersive Israel travel experience. Teens call it a “life-changing experience.” The Foundation’s Israel Experience scholarships provide financial assistance for immersive programs in Israel to help teens explore their Jewish identity.
College Scholarships
The Foundation offers college scholarships that are made possible by generous donors who establish funds through us. Donors define their scholarship funds differently, but all share a similar goal: to encourage students to follow their dreams by pursuing education at an institution of higher learning.
