The Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia’s Center to Combat Antisemitism, led by the Jewish Federation’s Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC), is offering microgrants. The microgrants will be for organizations seeking to host one-time, non-recurring programs or events that raise awareness about the reality of antisemitism and equip the community with tools and knowledge to combat it. These grants aim to support innovative, community-driven initiatives that foster dialogue, strengthen advocacy efforts, and promote unity across diverse communities.
Submissions will be evaluated on a rolling basis based on their potential impact, alignment with JCRC’s strategic goals and ability to engage diverse audiences. Funding decisions will prioritize programs that maximize collective impact, foster understanding and promote unity across communities.
These microgrants will be limited to one-time, non-recurring events or programs.

Grants will be in the range of $500 to $2,500 with larger grants possible under unique circumstances.
