The Associated’s Jewish Women’s Giving Foundation Awards Seven Grants to Support Women and Girls in Baltimore and Israel

The Jewish Women’s Giving Foundation (JWGF), a program of The Associated: Jewish Federation of Baltimore, has completed its most recent grantmaking cycle, awarding funding to seven impactful programs in Baltimore and Israel. The grants support organizations working to improve the lives of underserved women and girls facing challenges ranging from lack of access to education and employment to housing insecurity and sexual exploitation.

“This year, we received a record number of grant requests — a powerful reminder of both the incredible work being done and the immense need that still exists, both here in Baltimore and in Israel,” said Julie Newman, outgoing chair of The Associated’s Jewish Women’s Giving Foundation. “The volume and diversity of proposals reflect the many challenges women and girls continue to face and reinforce why our collective philanthropy is so critical.”

Now in its 22nd year, JWGF was established by a visionary group of women committed to the power of collective philanthropy to create lasting change for women and girls. Since its inception, JWGF has granted over 2.5 million dollars, championing innovative and bold approaches to address urgent issues locally and globally.
