How do I Apply?
Organizations seeking to apply for funding from Daily Giving should submit a Letter of Interest (LOI) through the online form only (below). The LOI form will be open all year and submissions will be reviewed on a rolling basis. All submissions will proceed through a screening process to determine if the requesting organization’s mission aligns with Daily Giving’s funding priorities.
If an organization may qualify for funding, Daily Giving will contact you by phone and/or email inviting you to the second level of screening for further consideration, which will include a more thorough application and an interview. These applications will be submitted through an application portal, which will provide further details and instructions regarding the application process.
What Happens after I submit the form?
Once an application is complete, it will be reviewed by the Grants Committee.
Funding requests recommended for consideration by the Grant Committee and Rabbinical Council are then placed on the agenda for consideration by the Rabbinical Council and are voted on by the Board of Directors. After funding approval, grantees will be notified of the award via a grant agreement letter.
Once an organization has been vetted and received a grant from Daily Giving, we will continue to monitor and maintain contact with all grant recipients. Grantees will be required to submit timely progress reports as well as work with Daily Giving to coordinate site visits, as required under the terms of the grant agreement letter.
