Federation Cash Grants
As part of its response to the economic recession, The Jewish Federation created an Emergency Cash Grants Program to provide grants to Jewish families in urgent need of financial support. Grant funding is being provided via Jewish program partners to Jewish individuals and families in financial need who as a result of changed circumstances due to the economy face an urgent crisis.
If you are in need of a grant, please contact one of the organizations listed below who will guide you through this process (you cannot apply to the Federation directly for this grant). This program has been seeded with money from the Jewish Community Foundation of Los Angeles and the Federation.
Grant applicants should contact:
JEWISH FAMILY SERVICE’S CENTRAL ACCESS
1-877-275-4537
(which can also provide resources, referrals and guidance on financial assistance)
In addition, the following organizations accept applicants who are current or potential clients only:
- Beit T’Shuvah
- Jewish Big Brothers Big Sisters LA
- Jewish Free Loan Association
- Jewish Vocational Service
- Milken JCC
- Tomchei Shabbos
You may also contact your rabbi at a Board of Rabbis of Southern California affiliated synagogue.
If you are a Jewish organization that would like to participate in this program, please email fedcashgrants@jewishla.org.
