Details:
The Hadassah Foundation is interested in funding organizations and programs that strengthen the leadership capacity and role of self-identifying women and girls in the U.S. Jewish community.
In light of the alarming spike in antisemitism, rising social and political polarization, and the rollbacks and curtailing of policies and laws that disproportionately impact women and girls, the Foundation is particularly interested in advancing leadership in ways that:
- Empower women and girls with the education and tools to influence and guide others in addressing conflict and bias, or
- Strengthen networks and communities to promote wide-spread change and policy advocacy.
