Jewish Incubators Grants Committee

The Greater Miami Jewish Federation currently provides $100,000 toward Jewish Incubator Grants, which support innovative and impactful programs that enrich Miami’s Jewish community. Grants range from $2,500 to $10,000 and are awarded competitively, based on the alignment of programs with our priorities, their scope, financial need, and the organization’s capacity.

The committee meets 3-4 times in the fall (depending on the number of applications) and once in the spring. The committee reports to the Planning and Distribution Committee.  

As a committee member, you will be responsible for:

• Reviewing 1-2 grant proposals and preparing to discuss them with the committee
• Contacting your assigned organizations prior to the first meeting to complete an evaluation
• Participating in fall meetings to develop funding recommendations
• Conducting site visits in the spring with 1-2 funded organizations
• Attending a spring meeting to review site visits
