Our Grant Giving is Growing
For over 35 years, the National Center to Encourage Judaism (NCEJ) has been providing grants to established Jewish nonprofits that sponsor programs that attract more people to Judaism. We fund a variety of programs (online, hybrid, and in-person) for people interested in conversion, interfaith families, and others who are new to Judaism. Read more about the fund’s history.
Recently we’ve expanded our giving, both nationally and internationally. Our goal is to provide grants for a diverse group of organizations, and a mix of programs. We place a priority on marketing, to widen the audience and increase attendance for both single events and multi-session programs, traditional classes and experiential learning.
We also fund marketing, program materials, security and related expenses:
