Making A Different^

Jewish Women's Foundation adds
challenge grants to its grant cycle.

T

he Jewish Women's
Foundation, in its 12th year,
just completed its 11th grant
cycle. Cumulative awards exceed
$1.5 million in grants and alloca-
tions since its founding.
Using the power of women's col-
lective philanthropy, the JWF is
working to achieve its mission of
enhancing the lives of Jewish women
and girls in our local community
and Israel, and empowering women
as decision makers, leaders and phi-
lanthropists.
"On behalf of 198 trustees and
alumnae of the Jewish Women's
Foundation, I am pleased to
announce the following grants total-
ing $328,595 — our grants celebrate
the power of women to change the
world," said Trudi Wineman, JWF
chairperson.
"Because the JWF accepts grant
requests for projects that are both
Jewish and gender specific, to pro-
mote social change and to advocate
for issues that affect Jewish women
and girls, we fund programs that
may not find other funders," said
Carolyn Tisdale, JWF associate
chairperson.
"For that reason, we initiated
our first Challenge Grants in this
year's grant cycle to help longtime
grantee partners reach out further
to enhance their relationships in the
community and educate new donors
about the importance of their work."
