Jewish News is a nonprofit publication that is owned by the community and relies on community support. The Center for Jewish Philanthropy of Greater Phoenix (CJP) is now accepting grant applications for programs and services intended to benefit the Greater Phoenix Jewish community.

While CJP will consider programs that positively impact the Jewish community, there’s s focus on several areas: Programs that build community cohesion by connecting Jewish people to one another and the larger Jewish community, as well as provide Jewish education and ritual experiences that increase meaning and engagement.

Capacity building programs that improve the overall performance and financial sustainability of local Jewish organizations to fulfill their missions and serve their constituents. Professional and volunteer leadership development for the continued success of the Greater Phoenix Jewish community.

Programs that support youth, families or seniors in Jewish life, engage people of all abilities, ages and identities, and programs assisting vulnerable populations. Applicants should be aware of changes to the process, Sheryl Quen, CJP vice president of community impact, pointed out.

There is also a streamlined grant application process for those applying for grants up to $10,000, and a two-stage process for grants over $10,000 — a letter of intent must be approved before the organization is able to complete the full application. Small grants, for which the amount has been lowered to $3,000, will be reviewed quarterly. General operating support applications are due Sept.

19; streamlined strategic initiative grant applications for requests up to $10,000 are due Oct. 1; and letters of intent for grant applications over $10,000 are due Oct. 1.
