The Boulder Jewish Community Foundation (BJCF) is pleased to announce changes to the BJCF 2024 Infrastructure Grant programs. In the past, we have granted small awards to many Jewish Organizations/Communities in Boulder (approximately 2 dozen). Our strategy going forward is to increase the dollar amount of awards and create the ability to support organizations with a multiyear commitment. For example, we plan to award a couple larger multiyear grants for infrastructure programs (such as a capital campaign); and approximately six (6) mini-grants.
As always, the grants are designed to support Boulder County Jewish organizations with infrastructure needs. These include, but are not limited to:
· assistance with underwriting of facility costs of an event;
· improvement or upgrade of a facility; or
· development or improvement of an online presence.
If your organization has previously received grants, you are pre-approved to apply for a 2024 grant. To apply, send an email to allenhittelman@comcast.net. In your email, include the following information:

We appreciate your support of the Boulder Jewish Community.
