Young Adult and Families with Young Children Engagement Grants (YAEG)

Do you want to grow a user-driven, relational engagement approach to your work? We want to help the young adult community achieve their goals. CJP's Young Adult Engagement Grants provide up to $25,000 to non-profits in support of programs which help young adults (ages 22-45) navigate their Jewish journeys, and up to $10,000 to non-profits that help families with young children create their Jewish future.

How do I apply?

In this pilot year, grant applications are due Monday, March 25 at 5:00 p.m. They should be sent to Rabbi Elyse Winick, Senior Director of Learning and Engagement at elysew@cjp.org.
Please read our proposal guidelines.

How many grants are being awarded?
