The Harold Grinspoon Foundation (HGF) was established in Springfield, Massachusetts and serves to enhance Jewish and community life in Western Massachusetts and around the world.
The Teen Education Grant program addresses the gap in engaging Jewish programming for teens post-bar or bat mitzvah. It encourages community organizations to develop programs that engage teens in meaningful and fun ways, through informal, creative Jewish education and experiential learning. The grant offers up to 70% of the project's total cost, with a maximum of $10,000. It focuses on funding organizations that provide direct, impactful learning experiences for teens, excluding costs such as payroll taxes, bonuses, and benefits.
