Innovation Fund
Rebecca Wolf
What’s your dream for your Jewish community? The National Havurah Committee invites you to apply for an Innovation Fund Grant to enact it! You can apply for a grant of $300-1,000 for a range of projects, and the NHC can even connect you to human resources to provide guidance as you make your dream a reality. Last year, seven Innovation Fund grants supported retreats and events where over 160 people engaged in meaningful grassroots Jewish activities, including Jewish learning, developing service-leading skills and learning new melodies, and community-building shabbatons. The Innovation Fund also provided essential seed support to an online repository of service-leading melodies and to “Jerusalem Unfiltered,” a multimedia educational website about Jerusalem’s many communities. First-timers, risk-takers, ideas large and small, and collaborations with other groups are encouraged!
Applications are due January 24th, 2014! More details and application at: NHC Innovation Fund

"When you want to effect positive change in society, do not look at the evidence and decide that your goals are impossible. Do the impossible and change the evidence."

“If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up people to collect wood and don’t assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.”
