Opportunity Grants for Synagogues and 501(c)3 Organizations throughout Middlesex and Monmouth Counties
The Jewish Federation in the Heart of New Jersey is a true believer in the collaborative and vibrant spirit of our Jewish community. That’s why we invest hundreds of thousands of dollars in programs and initiatives that link ideas, organizations and resources to effectively address communal needs.
Federation invests funding, marketing, lobbying and other resources in high-quality programs and initiatives that:
- Inspire the Next Generation to Embrace Jewish Life, promoting intensive formal and informal Jewish learning experiences.
- Attract People to a Vibrant Community, enriching Jewish life through community-wide volunteerism, cultural experiences and holiday celebrations.
- Care for the Vulnerable, promoting the well-being of the at-risk and underserved.
- Forge Strong Connections with Israel, strengthening Jewish communities in Israel and around the world.
When we combine the intellectual and financial leadership of our entire Jewish community spanning Middlesex and Monmouth counties, we can generate innovative ideas and develop solutions to important communal needs. This is our Jewish future.
