STEP ONE: Letter of Intent
After you have reviewed the grant guidelines send us a typed outline of
your project of no more than two pages, (8.5 x 11) containing the following
information:
- Introduction to your organization, including your charitable registration
number
- Statement of the needs or community priorities that the project
addresses
- Concise description of the activities to be undertaken
- Clear statement of who will benefit from the project
- Start-up and completion dates
- The cost of the project and the amount being requested from the
Foundation
- Brief statement on how the success of the project will be evaluated
We encourage applicants to be brief but informative, and to use lay language.
You will be invited to submit a full application only with the prior submission
of a Letter of Intent.
The Chair of the Distribution Committee and the Director of the Jewish
Community Foundation will review your Letter of Intent. You may be contacted
if additional information is needed. If your project meets the Foundation's
criteria, you will be invited to apply and will receive an application.
If your project is not considered eligible for further consideration,
you will receive an explanation.
Letters of Intent may be forwarded to:

STEP TWO: Grant Application (if invited to submit)
Your formal application must be returned by the deadline for consideration by the Grant Distribution Committee. Recommendations are then presented to the Foundation’s Board of Trustees for ratification. Following this meeting, applicants receive written notification of the Board’s decision.
As detailed in the timeline we recognize the effort that goes into preparing grant applications and
want to help organizations make complete submissions. If you have any questions about the grant application process, please contact our office at 604.257.5100 or by email at jcf@jewishvancouver.com.
