The Jewish Federation of Southern New Jersey aims to support those in need, enhance Jewish life, and ensure the continuity of a vibrant Jewish community both locally and globally. Its goal is to unify the Jewish community, promote Jewish life and learning, and strengthen connections to their culture and heritage. The Federation works to serve vulnerable populations and inspire the next generation towards Jewish life and legacy.
The grant program by the Jewish Federation of Southern New Jersey seeks to distribute resources into five key areas to make a significant impact across various segments of the community. These areas include engaging older adults with programs rich in Jewish heritage, supporting individuals with special needs to enhance their quality of life, advocating for the global safety of Jewish communities, fostering interfaith and cross-cultural relations to build a better world, and offering comprehensive services for family and youth that promote mental and physical well-being. Specifically, the Jewish Women’s Foundation offers grants ranging from $500 to $2,000 for projects focused on food access, healthcare, housing, education, job training, and nonprofit sustainability.
