Help for Agencies | Organizations | Synagogues

Jewish Federation provides, obtains, and advocates for funding, training, promotion, and other tools and services on behalf of agencies, organizations, and synagogues whose non-profit programs and services address critical needs in Jewish life with an emphasis on helping organizations achieve greater financial sustainability; helping their vulnerable community members deal with health, family, and financial crisis; combating safety and security threats; empowering young people to build a strong Jewish future; and connecting Jews of all ages and interests to Israel and to social and educational experiences they value in the context of Jewish life. 

 

Grants

Community Partner Grants

Grants are available to nonprofits and synagogues seeking major funding of $3,000 or more for programs and services addressing individual and communal needs that impact the Jewish community in Monmouth and Greater Middlesex Counties. Jewish Federation’s partnership and grant-making process is designed to invest in programs or projects that meet important needs, leverage resources and generate collaborative partnerships, broaden access and incorporate best practices employed by organizations of excellence.

Security Grants

Federation's focus on security preparedness spans the entire Jewish community as well as our interfaith neighbors. We help nonprofit organizations apply for security grants; to date we have helped dozens obtain and implement approximately $15 million in government and private funds to make the places where Jews and our neighbors gather safer and more secure.
