Jewish Federation of St. Louis mobilizes the Jewish community and its human and financial resources to preserve and enhance Jewish life in St. Louis, in Israel, and around the world.
The grant program by the Women’s Auxiliary Foundation seeks creative proposals focused on serving Jewish older adults in the St. Louis community, with a special emphasis on addressing unmet needs in mental health and well-being. The Foundation prioritizes funding for programs that demonstrate significant impact, preferentially supporting ongoing initiatives over one-time events. Applications from congregations are expected to articulate strategies for outreach beyond their membership. The program discourages funding intergenerational projects not primarily focused on older adults and encourages collaboration across different organizations.
