Voices: The Chicago Jewish Teen Foundation is made up of a group of Chicago-area Jewish teenagers. The Foundation focuses on different philanthropic needs each year. We are funded by a special endowment through the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago as well as our own contributions.
Grant-seeking organizations may apply for funding from up to 2 committees across both boards, as long as it is for separate projects/programs. On the application, you will select the issue area to which you are applying. Please review each committee’s grant guidelines below to see if your organization/project qualifies. If applying for multiple grants, please submit separate proposals for each submission.
Voices 101 Board:
Organizations that have applied for or received funds in previous years are welcome to reapply.
Approximately $50,000 in grants will be awarded this year. Proposals will be considered between $4,000 and $10,000 for funding. Annually, Voices receives approximately 50 proposals and on average funds 20% of projects. 75% of funds are awarded to Jewish/Israeli organizations.
Applications and proposals are due by Monday, December 14, 2026 at 7pm.
Grant applicants will be notified of decision in May of 2027.
Please contact Olivia Patinkin with any questions.
