2019 Holocaust Survivor Critical Supports Grant Application - Guidelines

OBJECTIVE:

Programs to address the critical needs of Holocaust survivors to keep them from having to move from their homes into institutional care. Grant funds can be used to resolve active crises facing survivors or for preventative services. You are not required to conduct extensive research to make your case; we are seeking your creative thoughts based on your experience with this population.

It is hoped that this funding will help to fill the gap for identified emergency needs – it is not the intention for these funds to pay for daily living costs or for services already provided through Claims Conference or other funding.

DEFINITION OF A SURVIVOR:

For the purpose of this grant, funding is not limited to the German government’s definition of a survivor: however, individuals born after the end of February 1946 are not considered Holocaust survivors under this grant. Based on those qualifications, the definition of survivors for this grant is expanded to include anyone who had to flee from their home due to the Nazi invasion with no requirement to have lived in certain countries or to have been interned in a concentration camp.

REQUIREMENTS:

All of the program work funded under these grants must apply the principles of PCTI (person-centered trauma informed) care. PCTI care is a holistic approach to service provision that supports the dignity, strength, and empowerment of trauma victims by incorporating knowledge about the role of trauma in victims’ lives in agency programs, policies and procedures. (Eisinger and Bedney, 2018)

All sub-grantees must attend a mandatory training on PCTI on August 22, 2019. Details about this training will be shared closer to its date.

RESOURCES:

IF you are not familiar with PCTI, a good primer from the U.S. Administration for Community Living can be found at here

SUBMISSION PROCESS:

All completed proposals must be e-mailed to Fran Katz at [email protected] no later than 4 pm on Thursday, August 8. 2019. Questions regarding your proposals may be e-mailed to Fran during the submission period but they must be sent before Tuesday, August 6 at 10 am in order for you to receive a timely response.

Grant funding will be awarded in late August. Programs can take place from September 1, 2019 through May 1, 2020.

Requests should range from $5,000 - $50,000.

Scheck Hillel Students Feed Families in Need in Israel, Core Values Guide Annual High School Trip

Pantry Packers NORTH MIAMI BEACH – Scheck Hillel Community School grade 9 students incorporated their school’s core values throughout their trip to Israel in May-June.

Pantry Packers expressed thanks to the Scheck Hillel students. “We thank you for taking time out of your schedule to share in our mitzvah, and enjoyed our time together,” wrote Rabbi Menachem Traxler. “Your group, not only had fun while doing this important chesed (kindness) work, but provided food for families in need.”

“Our Scheck Hillel mission is to educate and inspire students to become exemplary global citizens with enduring Jewish identity and values, and this great mitzvah is the perfect representation of it,” said Vanessa Donaher, Head of Scheck Hillel Community School. “We are very proud of our students, guided by values like kindness here at home and afar.”
