Priority Funding Areas
- Efforts to increase the organizational strength and capacity of a Jewish organization working in support of the seven-county Denver metro area Jewish community. Applications in this category should consist of grants working toward a major organizational goal that strengthens the core functions of the organization, like sustained increased enrollment or a new revenue stream. These may include key staff positions, planning grants, new systems (CRM, software, etc.), professional development, coaching, or other similar projects.
- Program or project that is reflective of diverse Jewish communities and offers meaningful and relevant opportunities to engage in Jewish life. These applications should include data demonstrating the need for the program/project/organization and show that the grant would fill a gap in the local Jewish ecosystem, rather than duplicating other existing efforts. General operating or program grants may fall into this category.
- Jewish initiatives seeking to advance social justice by engaging Jewish people and using Jewish values and traditions to respond to one or more key social and economic issues of the time. National data demonstrates that Jewish people, particularly younger generations, tend to express their Jewish identities through social justice. Applications in this category will ideally demonstrate that their justice-oriented work is informed by, and supports, the population/issue area it serves. In addition, there should be some measurement of how this social justice programming supports the development of Jewish identities, relationships, meaning, and/or values of its Jewish participants.
