Women’s Impact Initiative

The Women’s Impact Initiative provides grants from the Greater Miami Jewish Federation/UJA Annual Campaign to non-profit organizations in Miami that inspire and empower Jewish women and girls, as well as improve our local community through programs that achieve social, economic, religious, and political equality.

To support new programs or the expansion of existing programs advancing the mission of Federation’s Women’s Impact Initiative. Projects must be gender-specific and serve a majority Jewish population. The “gender lens” used must consist of a deep examination of how culturally entrenched gender norms affect women and girls. The aim is to ensure that our local Jewish community is “gender aware” and that outcomes achieve social, economic, religious, and political equality by being inclusive of and responsive to the needs and issues of Jewish women and girls.
