- Awards for ongoing operational support of an organization are very limited and discouraged. Preference is given to organizations that use grant funds for direct services to Jewish seniors rather than maintaining program operations.
- Preference is also given to organizations using matching funds or partial funding from their organization, an outside organization or foundation, i.e., leverages its resources.
- Preference will be given to those organizations that comply with grant guidelines, reporting requirements and achieve positive outcomes.
- If your organization is applying for the first time, the Letter of Intent form must be completed first with permission given to complete the grant application.
