Women’s Auxiliary Foundation for Jewish Aged Grant

Women’s Auxiliary Foundation for Jewish Aged, a Supporting Foundation of the Jewish Federation of St. Louis, was established in 2014 through a generous commitment from the Women’s Auxiliary for the Jewish Aged.

Grants that address unmet needs in the area of mental health & well-being remain our highest priority for funding; however, proposals that address other unmet needs of Jewish older adults will also be considered.

The Foundation prefers: 

• Programs that can demonstrate significant impact.
• Ongoing programs rather than one-time programs.
• For congregations, programs that find ways to transcend the walls of the congregation (i.e., applications from congregations must articulate a clear strategy for reaching people outside the membership of the congregation).
• Collaboration is encouraged across organizations.
