Youth Grants

The Future Fund:
Connecting Youth to Israel

The Future Fund is here to help our young Jewish community develop an understanding and connection to Israel. From summer programs in Israel, to studying in Israel for a semester, to Jewish pre-college and gap year programs, there are plenty of enriching opportunities available for funding.

Through the years, students 8th grade through college who reside in the Greater Fairfield area, or who attend school in our area, have been able to apply for $2000 grants for programs from a sample list of opportunities or select one of their own.

The Summer Camp Fund:
Connecting Kids to Camp

Jewish Camp is all about fun and  real-world learning, and the Federation Summer Camp Fund is here to make it happen!

We know that children who attend Jewish summer camp are more likely to identify as Jewish adults and actively engage with their Jewish community.

And they love it!

In 2024, the Jewish Federation of Greater Fairfield County offered a limited number of Summer Camp Grants, available only through our local synagogues, for kids to attend Jewish summer camp.
