SMALL GRANT CYCLE

NEW GRANT CYCLE: 2020/2021 CYCLE (OPENS OCTOBER 19, 2020)

Each fall JWF accepts requests for small grants in support of programs and services in New Jersey that are consistent with the JWF mission.

This year, in response to the COVID-19 crisis, the JWF small grants process will be dedicated only to grantees in our current pipeline over the last three years.

If you are new to JWF or have not been funded by us in the last three years, we invite you to revisit us in January 2021 for information about our large grants process, or fall 2021 as we resume our normal process.

Maximum request: $2,500

• Small Grant period runs for one year or as requested by the applicant.
• Grant applicants receive notification on or before January 1 of any given year.

SPECIAL GRANTS

• Israel Grant. Thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor, JWF has instituted a separate grant cycle for programs in Israel. JWF funds social change projects that increase economic justice, financial stability, and self-sufficiency for women in Israel. For the last two years, JWF dedicated its funding for Israel to support the National JWF Funding Collaborative, which supported economic parity for women who are contract workers in Israel. At this time, we are not accepting new proposals for programs based in Israel. However, we will update the website once we have new opportunities available. We wish you much success in your programs. Please refer back to our website for any updated information.
