Just Because Grant Application

Just Because Grants for Individuals
Just Because Grants offer up to $120 for gatherings for either young adults or young families to engage in Jewish life as they define it. So host a Shabbat dinner in the park, teach friends about your family's holiday traditions, organize a volunteer opportunity or an afternoon hike - and let Federation help you pay for it! Please note that these funds cannot be used for fundraisers and events must be held in the Kansas City metro area.

Please apply for a Just Because Grant at least two weeks prior to your event date, as it may take us up to 10 business days to process applications and ask any follow-up questions.

If you have any additional questions or would like more information, please email justbecause@jewishkc.org.
