The Jewish Foundation's Women of Vision Society is dedicated to improving the lives of women and girls in the Greater New Haven area and in Israel. Established by 100 founding members, its mission encompasses addressing issues such as domestic violence, health, acculturation, and spirituality. The society seeks to enhance, support, and sustain critical programming and services for women and girls, having distributed over $180,000 toward these causes since its inception.
The grant program aims to empower Jewish educators by funding their participation in workshops and conferences focused on enhancing their teaching abilities. It supports a broad spectrum of educational institutions, including day schools, pre-schools, synagogue schools, and organizations involved in Jewish teen education in the Greater New Haven area. Specifically, the grant facilitates professional development opportunities for teachers, principals, and directors within these institutions, fostering community-wide educational initiatives.
