Do you have a new and creative idea to connect people, actualize tikkun olam, and engage more people in Jewish life in Ottawa?
NEW STARTING JULY 1st, 2025 - The Jewish Federation of Ottawa's Microgrants Committee is excited to launch the year of "Empowering the Indvidual," focusing on empowering and encouraging leaders in our community through Microgrant funding.
New changes to application criteria include:
• For organizations: Maximum of two allocations (maximum of $5,000 cumulatively) per organization, per fiscal year
-- Additional application for initiatives that feature new organization collaborations
• Any organizations that receive Jewish Journeys funding for programing are precluded from applying for Microgrants
• For individual applicants: a new option with a maximum allocation of $1,800 that accounts for 100% of the budget, as an alternative to the standard maximum allocation model of $2,500 representing 75% of the overall budget.
