Apply for funding for your environmental project!

Hazon is seeking to provide small grants to environmental projects across North America and Israel through our 2013 Jewish Environmental Bike Rides in California and New York. If you are working on a creative Jewish environmental project, simply fill out the short application below and submit an application that corresponds with your location.

We will give priority to smaller organizations with budgets under a million dollars and /or to distinct environmental projects at larger organizations. The grants that Hazon gives out are small and we want to give them to projects and organizations where that will really make a difference. We prefer funding discrete projects which will be completed or reach significant milestones in the year following the grant. Applications must come from registered non-profit organizations.

Projects may focus on any of the following areas:

• the connection between Judaism and the environment
• transportation alternatives to driving
• climate change
• food justice
• sustainable food
• farming and gardening

Grant winners for the mini-grants:

• Will be promoted on the Hazon website and Ride Program Book.
• Will have an opportunity to present to participants at a Hazon Ride, table, or otherwise display materials at a Ride.
