The Hadassah Foundation is pleased to announce $320,000 in grants to four women-led U.S.-based organizations that are making the Jewish community more equitable and inclusive. These grant recipients are promoting the leadership of women and girls and working to remove obstacles that inhibit their ability to thrive.
Each of the following nonprofits will receive a Core grant of $80,000 over three years:
- Jewtina y Co. is the only organization in North America focused on serving the needs of the approximately 400,000 Latin Jews in the region. It addresses the unique challenges experienced by those in their communities, and creates spaces where peoples’ multifaceted identities are celebrated, affirmed, and integrated into the larger Jewish ecosystem. The Hadassah Foundation grant will support “Voces en Vivo: Not Your Mama’s Jewtinidad,” a multi-city storytelling and performance initiative that will uplift the voices and lived experiences of Latin-Jewish women and nonbinary individuals throughout the U.S.
- Organization for the Resolution of Agunot seeks to eliminate abuse from the Jewish divorce process by advocating for the timely and unconditional issuance of a get, or a Jewish divorce. It pursues its mission through three main strategies: advocacy on behalf of agunot (women denied a divorce), early intervention, and prevention.
- Sacred Spaces equips Jewish institutions with the tools, training, and guidance to prevent and respond to abuse, creating safer and more accountable communities. Working with schools, camps, synagogues, and other organizations, Sacred Spaces is building a future where abuse prevention and response are prioritized across the Jewish communal landscape, safety is an expected standard, and institutions are prepared to protect, respond, and support with integrity and accountability.
- Shalom Task Force combats and prevents domestic violence while fostering healthy and safe relationships and families, particularly in the Orthodox and insular Jewish communities. The Hadassah Foundation grant will support Shalom Task Force’s Purple Fellowship and Future Community Leaders programs, which empower Jewish high school students, especially young women, to prevent intimate partner violence, promote gender equity, and lead with empathy and strength.
Except for Shalom Task Force, which received a grant in 2021, all of the funded organizations are first-time Hadassah Foundation grant recipients.
In 2025 the Hadassah Foundation is awarding more than $800,000, almost doubling our grantmaking over the last five years. Eight of this year’s 12 grant recipients are new to the Hadassah Foundation — expanding our approach to achieving long-term social change for women and girls.
