CJP supports Jewish life at every level. We provide scholarships that open doors for individual children and adults and grants that help organizations sustain a rich, inclusive Jewish life and respond to urgent needs in Greater Boston, Israel, and beyond.

We invest in community

Through strategic grant-making, CJP invests in organizations, programs, and people in Greater Boston, Israel, and around the world to create transformational impact. Our grants and supporting services strengthen Jewish life, advance community safety and security, support vulnerable community members, and help organizations grow and innovate. New grant opportunities are added throughout the year, so please check back regularly.
