Now Accepting Applications for Jewish Incubator Grants

Federation is now accepting applications for its 2021 Jewish Incubator Grants, which will support nonprofits that strengthen Miami’s Jewish community through innovative and impactful programs. Jewish organizations, synagogues, agencies and schools with creative and forward-thinking ideas that enrich social-service, educational or Jewish-identity-building activities are invited to apply. This year, preference will be given to programs that address the emerging needs of the community as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Last year’s recipients included a program to support engagement with the LGBTQ community, an initiative to provide interactive programs for older adults on Miami Beach and a program to develop Jewish experiences for hospitalized children and their families. Applications are due no later than 4 p.m. on Friday, September 11, 2020. Click here to apply.
