The Slingshot GivingCircle+ on Jewish Joy is seeking proposals that elevate and embed Jewish joy at every level within organizations.

We are particularly interested in initiatives that expand access to joy for diverse and underserved populations, defined as individuals and communities who face barriers to engaging in Jewish life and experiencing Jewish joy.

These barriers may include, but are not limited to, geographic, economic, social, or physical factors. Strong proposals will actively work to reduce these barriers while creating spaces where individuals see themselves authentically reflected. This work should deepen a sense of belonging at the intersection of inclusion, representation, and meaningful Jewish connection.

Applications are due by Tuesday, April 28th, 2026, by 5PM PST.

In a moment when the world can feel heavy and uncertain, our GivingCircle+ is choosing to hold tight to something deeply Jewish: joy.

Coming together to celebrate Jewish life, community and generosity is not an escape, it’s an act of resilience. By supporting one another and lifting up the values we cherish, we’re creating a space where our collective action brings light into a complicated world.

They’re not walking away from Jewish giving, they’re rewriting it.

Our new report, Portrait of Jewish Giving Today, reveals what inspires the next generation of Jewish funders and how they’re shaping a more connected, courageous, and joyful future:

Driven by purpose
Grounded in community
Building bridges across divides

This report was made possible through the support and partnership of Crown Family Philanthropies, CCS Fundraising, OneTable, American Jewish World Service - AJWS and a group of NextGen donors.

Join Slingshot in Chicago for a sample of our most recent work with young, Jewish Philanthropic leaders. In this newly developed program, we will lay the groundwork for how to address some of the difficult conversations that are coming up during these divided times with our families, in our role as leaders in the Jewish Community, and beyond.

If you’re passionate about leading with courage, building bridges across divides, and creating meaningful change, this program is for you. Click the link to learn more and register.

At a time when leadership in all its forms is urgently needed, Young Jewish Philanthropic leaders have the power to drive meaningful change. Slingshot is here to support you on your journey. The Slingshot Fellowship is a 15-month program designed to connect you with like-minded peers, offering the opportunity to navigate challenges together and grow into the leaders and philanthropists you aspire to be.

We have a few spots remaining for the 2025-2026 Slingshot Fellowship, and I hope you will consider joining us. In a world that often feels overwhelming, this is the moment to invest in your leadership, learn from a mentor, and connect with your peers. There is much work to be done to repair the world, and none of us can do it alone.

"The Slingshot Fellowship put me into a small group of hand-selected peers who shared my similar sense of frustration, a desire for big change, and a deep-rooted feeling like we didn't know where to begin. It turns out that the Fellowship was our collective first step."

Applications close next Friday!
