Current Grantees
Eligible Expenses Guidelines
We only reimburse for expenses that are directly related to the content of the program we are funding. If you have a question about whether an expense might be covered, please contact us in advance. We do not cover the entire costs of a program. Programs must have an educational component — i.e. relate to Jewish holidays, traditions, rituals.
What We Fund
Marketing
Types of Marketing Covered
NCEJ reimburses for some of the costs for graphic design and printing. We reimburse for the costs for email marketing campaigns directly attributable to a specific program. Examples of promotional material we have funded recently include:
- Print and digital ads

The Value of Publicity
We fund a mix of advertising methods to help grantees widen the audience and reach new people. We encourage grantees to go outside their traditional marketing methods, and particularly to consider local channels. Here are some ideas from recent grantees:
- Jewish and mainstream press
- Instagram, Facebook, Google, other digital media
- Jewish websites
- Local community media

We cover a wide variety of program materials, including:
- Activity and take-home kits*
- Food related to program content
- “How-to” booklets
- Books to be used solely for students registered for class

- Ritual-related items (i.e. candlesticks, mezuzahs)*
