The JFM awards numerous committee-advised grants to charitable organizations throughout Manitoba each year.
Here are a few notes about how we help turn the needs and aspirations of our province's charities into reality:
WHAT TYPES OF GRANTS DOES THE JFM PROVIDE?
We provide six types of grants, each serving different pockets of our community. Each grant type has one or two distinct application windows, during which Maniotba registered charities may apply.
Women’s Endowment Fund Grants - Twice a year, Spring and Fall
Jewish Community Impact Grants - Twice a year, Summer and Winter Community Impact Grants Summer
Seniors' Transportation Grants - Summer
Judaic Studies and Cultural Programming Grants - Winter
Campership Grants - Winter
WHO IS ELIGIBLE?
Grants can be awarded to any registered charity in Manitoba.
Grants are awarded to Jewish community organizations as well as General community organizations.
All projects must benefit the Manitoba community, and general community organizations must complete any outstanding grant in full before applying for their next grant.
HOW ARE GRANTS DECIDED?
All grants are determined based on a collaborative review process with multiple levels of evaluation. To begin, our volunteer Grants Committee members review each application and assess the merit of the requests. Based on their assessments, the committee creates a recommendation which is then submitted to the Board of Directors for approval.
LOOKING AHEAD
This winter, we are transitioning to a new application portal for all Grant and Scholarship applications. The new portal will bring welcome upgrades to the ease and efficiency of the application process. More details about the process will be available in the coming months.
