The Mission of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation is to mobilize human and financial resources to care for those in need, strengthen Jewish life and advance the unity, values and shared purpose of the Jewish people in Miami, in Israel and around the world.
The Federation invites nonprofit organizations and collaborative partnerships to submit grant proposals focused on improving the lives of individuals with special needs in Israel.
While proposals from across Israel will be considered, preference will be given to projects serving communities in Northern Israel, particularly those addressing increased needs resulting from displacement, trauma, service disruption, or limited access to specialized care and support.
Applicants must:
- Be a registered nonprofit amuta
- Demonstrate experience working with individuals with special needs and/or vulnerable populations
- Provide evidence of organizational capacity, financial accountability, and measurable impact
Grant amounts will vary depending on project scope, organizational capacity, and anticipated impact.
