Hadassah Foundation Seeks Proposals for Leadership/Self-Esteem Projects Benefiting Adolescent Girls

Deadline: July 18, 2006

The Hadassah Foundation (<a href="http://www.hadassahfoundation.org/">http://www.hadassahfoundation.org/</a>) is dedicated to refocusing the priorities of the Jewish community through innovative and creative funding for women and girls in the United States and Israel. The foundation’s mission is to improve the status, health, and well being of women and girls; bring their contributions, issues, and needs from the margins to the center of Jewish concern; and encourage and facilitate their active participation in decision-making and leadership in all spheres of life.

To this end, the foundation will provide a small number of grants ranging from $25,000 to $100,000 each, with the typical award between $30,000 and $40,000.

An applicant project must meet a need; establish a program model that enables girls to build self-esteem and learn from their peers and adult mentors; include girls in planning and implementation; demonstrate gender sensitivity (e.g., awareness of girls’ unique needs and ability to meet those needs); be replicable in other parts of the country; and draw on Jewish traditions and values.

To be eligible, applicant organizations must be classified as tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Applications will be accepted online beginning June 13, 2006. Instructions and application materials will be available at the Hadassah Foundation Web site.
