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.

Requests for funding should align to one or more of our strategic priorities:

• 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
