- Students at Noe Middle participate in Kentucky Center for the Arts’ arts-based holocaust education program, funded by JHFE.
Jewish Heritage Fund for Excellence provides funding opportunities to reduce barriers for Jewish individuals and their families to engage in Jewish life, and to flourish as individuals and members of a larger community.
We seek requests for funding that align to one or more of our Jewish Life focus areas:
- Spiritual, cultural, and social programs to grow individuals’ Jewish identity and sense of belonging and connection to the Jewish community.
- Programs and initiatives that strengthen Jewish organizations.
- Programs in the broader community that celebrate and build awareness of Jewish culture, heritage, history, and contributions.
Application Period
In 2022, the Jewish Life funding application will be by invitation only and accessible March 1 through March 18. Interested applicants may contact Jaime Jorrisch, Jewish Life Program Officer, with questions or to discuss project ideas.
