PLEASE NOTE:

The Foundation is no longer accepting applications for the 2011 docket.  Please check back with this site in February 2012.

For future dockets, the first step in applying for a grant from the Righteous Persons Foundation is to ensure your program's eligibility. Applications are only reviewed for organizations that have tax-exempt 501(c)(3) status. If your project does not have tax-exempt status, you may submit an application through a 501(c)(3) organization serving as your fiscal sponsor.

What We Don't Fund:

While we wish we could support all of the worthwhile projects in need of assistance, the limited funds available do not allow the Righteous Persons Foundation to fund all programs that fit within the funding priorities.
In addition, funding is generally not provided for the following:

• Direct aid to individuals;
• Individual synagogues or day schools;
• Conferences, seminars, and workshops;
• Capital or building campaigns;
• Scholarships and university programs;
• Programs servicing individuals and communities outside of the United States;
• Fundraising events, dinners and mass mailings;
• Endowment Funds; and
• Support to cover an existing deficit.
