Jewish Heritage Fund (JHF) seeks to fund organizations and programs that support their vision of Louisville as a city whose youth are mentally and physically healthy, thriving, and fully engaged in community.
Donor Name: Jewish Heritage Fund
State: Kentucky
City: Louisville
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 08/01/2022
Details:
JHF envisions Louisville as a city whose youth are mentally and physically healthy, thriving, and fully engaged in community.
Health funding is currently focused on supporting organizations and programs related to adolescent health and wellness. Adolescence is a period of growth and change that is an opportunity for positive intervention with the potential to impact one’s adult outcomes. In other words, healthy adolescence is the foundation for healthy adulthood. Despite a growing awareness that this is a critical stage of human development, relatively few resources flow to adolescence when compared to infancy and early childhood.
As a funding partner, they support organizations to improve the effectiveness of youth services through capacity building, research, and evaluation. They are particularly interested in supporting organizations to:
- collaborate to eliminate gaps in services
- actively engage adolescents and their families in decision making (i.e., advisory boards, teen councils, program evaluation)
- evaluate programs, initiatives, and organizational effectiveness
- provide evidence-informed programs that are innovative and culturally relevant
- introduce promising practices through pilot programs
Eligibility Criteria
JHF is interested in partnering with nonprofit organizations to ensure adolescents have equitable access to health supports and high-quality, evidence-informed programs.
