Center to Combat Antisemitism: Microgrants for Local Programs
The Jewish Community Relations Council’s (JCRC) Center to Combat Antisemitism of the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia is offering microgrants to organizations looking to host programs that raise awareness about the reality of antisemitism and equip the community with tools and knowledge on how to combat it. This grants pool aims to support innovative, community-driven programs that raise awareness, foster dialogue, and strengthen advocacy efforts.

Submissions will be evaluated on their potential impact, alignment with JCRC’s strategic goals, and ability to engage diverse audiences. Funding decisions will prioritize programs that maximize collective impact, fostering understanding and promoting unity across communities.

These microgrants will be limited to one-time, non-recurring events or programs.

GRANT AMOUNT

Grants will be in the range of $500 to $2,500, with larger grants possible under unique circumstances.
