NowGen, a program of the Center for Jewish Philanthropy (CJP), is pleased to provide limited grants (up to $180) that empower individuals aged 22-45 within the Jewish community to create their own meaningful Jewish experience. Our program is committed to supporting and funding unique experiences that embody the spirit of community building, connection strengthening, and the opportunity to practice Judaism in your own way. Funding priority is given based on the date of application submission, filling a communal need, and creativity of project concept. Priority will also be given to proposals available to those outside the applicant’s network with support from CJP.
