The Meyerhoff New Jewish Family Innovation Fund is now accepting grant applications for programming in the Baltimore metropolitan area. Eligible programs should target families with children under the age of 18 and focus on families of different faiths, people of color, adoptees, single parents, and LGBTQ parents or children.

A partnership between the Joseph & Harvey Meyerhoff Family Charitable Funds and The Associated: Jewish Federation of Baltimore, the endowment fund is designed to promote creative approaches to addressing the changing needs of Jewish families. The fund is committed to supporting family education and engagement initiatives that are experimental and rooted in Jewish values, help Jewish families feel welcome, thrive and connect with their communities.

Grants up to $50,000 are available exclusively to organizations. Collaboration across organizations is encouraged; multi-year programs will be accepted.

The application deadline for the fund is Friday, Apr. 21, and awards will be made by July 7. For details on guidelines, eligibility and to learn more about the process, visit associated.org/new-jewish-family-fund. For information, contact Lauren Klein at lklein@associated.org or 410-369-9278.
