Jewish Experience Grant

The Board of Trustees of Columbia Jewish Federation places great importance on providing opportunities for Jewish youth to participate in Jewish experience programs that enhance Jewish identity, allowing them to experience Jewish culture and traditions in inclusive, positive, and safe settings with other Jews.

Our Jewish Experience Grant program (formerly the Steven Terner Jewish Summer Camp Scholarship) is open to current donors to the Annual Campaign who seek financial assistance with registration fees for Jewish experience programs for their children. While all donors to the Annual Campaign are encouraged to apply, preference will be given to those with demonstrated financial need and the size of awards made will reflect the need demonstrated in your application.

Qualifying programs include Jewish day and summer camps, youth group conferences and conventions, leadership programs, Israel programs, and regional, national, and international Maccabi events.

APPLICATIONS ARE DUE BY MARCH 31, 2024, AND GRANT AWARDS

WILL BE ANNOUNCED TO APPLICANTS BY APRIL 15, 2024

PAYMENT WILL BE MADE DIRECTLY TO HOST ORGANIZATIONS

NO LATER THAN APRIL 30, 2024
