The Jacquie Bayley Fund for Leadership, Opportunity, and Sisterhood
About the Fund
Established in 2025, the Bayley Fund supports initiatives that help girls and youth become influential leaders, grow the number of opportunities available for meaningful education and engagement, and build supportive networks embracing shared values and collective strength. The Bayley Fund underwrites one grant each year, and supports initiatives in both the United States and in Israel.
The inaugural recipient of the Bayley Fund grant is jGirls+ Magazine, an online community and magazine written by and for self-identifying Jewish girls, young women, and nonbinary teens that provides them with the space to hone their communication skills and engage with a wide circle of peers on their own terms. As of January 2025, JGirls+ is proudly a program of Moving Traditions, another longtime grant recipient of the Hadassah Foundation.
