A group of foundations announced they are giving away up to $1 million in matching funds to Jewish social justice organizations.
The $1 million pot to help advance progressive causes, which was announced March 18 at the Jewish Funders Network conference in Beverly Hills, will be funded by the Nathan Cummings Foundation, the Jewish Funders Network, the Morton K. and Jane Blaustein Foundation, the Naomi and Nehemiah Cohen Foundation and other foundation partners.
To be eligible for the fund, organizations must be 501(c)(3) organizations operating in the United States and “self-articulate as a Jewish initiative and/or embody Jewish values including Jewish organizations launching social justice initiatives,” according to a statement announcing the fund. — jta
