Local Grant Funding

The Jewish Federation of Arkansas is pleased to offer support for Arkansas projects and services that accord with our Mission Statement. JFAR is proud and honored to support the crucial work you do in our Jewish community and beyond.

JFAR grants will prioritize and continue to support projects that:

  • Expand or enhance the reach of the organization in terms of audience and/or activities

  • Enable the organization to do something it couldn’t otherwise do with its normal budgetary resources

  • Are oriented toward the entire Jewish community or toward exposure of Judaism or Jewish community issues and concerns within the broader non-Jewish community

  • Enable and encourage the organization to explore new directions in programming and outreach

JFAR grants may not be used to support operating expenses, defined here as expenses that relate to regular ongoing activities of the organization.

Funds for co-sponsorships of programs during the year may also be available. If your organization has a project for which you like to request co-sponsorship funds, please contact us.

For questions, please contact the JFAR Office at director@jewisharkansas.org.
