Become a Beneficiary
Our beneficiaries are the heart of our mission, representing impactful initiatives that make a difference for Jews around the world.
Through a meticulous screening process, we ensure that each of our beneficiaries contributes to a diverse portfolio of meaningful causes tailored for the Jewish community.
Daily Giving’s beneficiaries undergo a significant vetting process before receiving funds. A thorough review by our due diligence team and Grant Committee assesses their financial responsibility, as well as the significance and efficiency of their impact on the Jewish community. Once the Grants Committee makes their decisions, the final charities are approved by the Rabbinical Council and Board of Directors.

Timeline:
Organizations seeking to apply for a grant from Daily Giving can expect to encounter up to two application stages:
-
- Letter of Interest Form: The Letter of Interest Form (LOI) is the first stage of the application process. It provides a brief overview of your organization, its mission, the specific project or need for which you seek funding, and how it aligns with Daily Giving’s priorities. The LOI will be made open to the public through February 1, 2025. Those who filled in their LOIs will be notified of their invitation to apply or rejection by June 1st.
- Formal Application: Selected organizations will be asked to move onto the next stage: the Formal Application. This is a comprehensive application detailing an organization’s programming, financial health, leadership, and the impact of the requested grant.
The due date of the formal application will depend on the timing of the invitation to complete it.
Please note that Daily Giving receives more applications than we can fund each year. Consequently, some grant requests that align with our funding priorities may not be selected.
