JWF is interested in funding initiatives that address the unique needs of self-identified women and girls through a ‘social change’ lens. Proposals will be evaluated on their impact, innovation and methodology. Grant applicants may apply for up to $10,000. Impact Grants, for Jewish community organizations and agencies only, are greater than $10,000 and up to $30,000.

Funding Guidelines

The JWF is seeking to:

• Create innovative ways to support women and girls by funding programs that address their unique needs;
• identify, implement and evaluate new strategies that address issues relevant to women and girls; and,
• fund proposals that work to create or help sustain social change.

Organizations will be considered for funding on a year-to-year basis. Previous funding will not guarantee continued funding or preclude future funding. See proposal details below.
 
JWF encourages new and innovative initiatives, but will consider funding existing projects that address our mission and focus.

JWF funds programs in Allegheny County, PA and for Jewish community applications, also considers applications from throughout the state of Pennsylvania. 

JWF funds only organizations with their own 501(c)(3) tax status or with a fiscal agent who is a 501(c)(3). 

JWF does not fund scholarships, political campaigns, capital campaigns or endowments.
