Additional Gender Equity Funders
The Hadassah Foundation is able to fund only a fraction of the many needs in the field. Fortunately, a number of other foundations share our commitment to advancing gender equity in Israel and the U.S. Jewish community. Below is information shared by other funders that accept proposals from organizations working in this area. If you represent a foundation or giving circle that would like to be included on this page — or if you would like to suggest other resources for grantseekers — please fill out this form and contact us. For additional information about the funders listed below, please contact them directly; the Hadassah Foundation does not field requests for other foundations.
