Apply Now for a Miami-Yerucham Partnership Grant

If you’ve heard about the Miami-Yerucham Partnership and have been eager to get involved, now is your chance to make an impact on residents of both communities. Applications are open for 2026-2027 grants supporting programs that foster people-to-people or organization-to-organization connections between Jewish Miami and our partner city in Israel’s Negev region. Sought-after proposals should involve educational programs that use innovative technology and benefit youth, young adults and young families, promote joint learning to strengthen Jewish identity and peoplehood or utilize entrepreneurship to develop resources and demographic growth in Yerucham. Applications are being accepted until March 2 and can be accessed here.
