Jewish in OC Micro-Grants

Jewish in OC Micro-Grants

Goals: The goal of this program is to bring out new ideas in the Orange County Jewish community which will bring the community together, connect people to the community, positively impact the community, and help the community learn and grow together.

Outcomes:We are interested in funding initiatives that aim to meet one or more of the following:

Jewish Community Building: engage the community in new ways, especially among Jews who aren’t connected with our established Jewish communities
Jewish Social Justice:address a social justice issue in the community through the lens of Jewish tradition and values
Jewish Experiential Education: create new opportunities for Jewish youth and family education outside of the traditional classroom setting

Who is eligible to apply?

Any member of the Jewish Federation of Greater Orange County is invited to apply. You can become a member of the Jewish Federation of Greater Orange County by making a donation of $36+ to the Annual Campaign.

How will the grants be allocated?

The Jewish in OC Mini-Grant committee will review all applications, invite all applicants to present their project to the committee via Zoom, and make the final funding decisions. Grants of $250-750 will be awarded based on the needs and merit of the project and the strength of the application. Grants of more than $750 may be considered. Grants will be awarded in the form of expense reimbursements following the submission of receipts or other documentation of expenditures along with a short Project Evaluation.

What is the timeline?

We will be accepting applications on a rolling basis throughout the year.

All projects will be required to submit a Project Evaluation and all receipts for reimbursement, within one month of program completion, no later than December 15th of the year in which the program occurred.
