Demonstration Grants in Jewish Chaplaincy: Information Session

This information session is offered to assist those interested in applying for a demonstration project grant for creative, evidence-based ways Jewish chaplains can meet the demand for innovative spiritual and emotional support for people not well served in the contemporary landscape. We particularly encourage applications related to the work of community chaplaincy – a distinctive contribution of Jewish chaplains – as well as from leaders in organizations and settings that have not traditionally seen the work of Jewish chaplains as central to their mission. Four grants of $40,000 will be awarded for work to be completed between July 1, 2023 and June 30, 2024. Each project team will be supported by an experienced mentor who has demonstrated success integrating chaplaincy in new ways into new settings. These mentors will work closely with project teams for the duration of their grants to ensure the success and ongoing viability of their interventions. Applications must come from existing 501(c)(3) organizations and must include an executive or other high level organizational leader and a Jewish chaplain on the project team. We seek to fund efforts that have the highest likelihood of success during the grant period as well as the strongest possibility of continuing once the funding ends. We will also privilege projects that have the capacity to be scaled. This information session is offered for interested and prospective applicants to ask whatever questions they may have about the process. Those interested in applying should read more here. We are joined by: Wendy Cadge, Chaplaincy Innovation Lab Grace Last, Chaplaincy Innovation Lab Michael Skaggs, Chaplaincy Innovation Lab Mychal Springer, New York-Presbyterian Hospital We thank the Charles H. Revson Foundation for their support of this work.
