Overseas Programming Funding

About

The Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh, through its Overseas Funding Committee, a sub-committee of IWJ, funds a variety of projects and programs in the areas of human and social services, Jewish education, and coexistence. Particularly, we seek to support programs whose work enhances our Partnership2Gether Region (Karmiel/Misgav).

Most grants range from $10,000 to $25,000. Our funding is limited to organizations registered as United States 501(c)3 non-profits, or with legal conduits holding that status.
