October 2014

 

To Whom It May Concern:

 

We are pleased to announce the anticipated availability of grants for calendar year 2015 from the Jewish Federation of Greater Santa Barbara (JFGSB), a 501-c-3 charitable organization.

 

JFGSB has served greater Santa Barbara for over 40 years.  Regardless of age, ethnicity, gender, socio-economic status, religion, creed, etc., the Federation is devoted to fulfilling a multitude of local needs while providing rescue and relief around the world.

 

JFGSB proudly supports numerous local agencies’, synagogues’ and other Jewish organizations’ programs in addition to those programs and services provided through our Jewish Family Service, Portraits of Survival, and Jewish Community Center.  We are committed to supporting the local Jewish and general communities and invite qualified, non-profit organizations to submit an application for funding.  More than $30,000* in local grants was provided during calendar year 2014.

 

While all proposals will be considered, the Board is particularly interested in supporting programs that promote the Federation’s mission to create and advance a cohesive Jewish community throughout Santa Barbara County.

 

In addition to three signed, stapled copies of your application, we also require one copy of each of the following to be submitted with your proposal:

 

      IRS Determination Letter (new agencies only)

      CA Tax-exempt Letter (new agencies only)

      Agency fiscal year budget (all applicants)

 

The deadline for consideration is November 17 by 5 PM (Pacific) mailed or delivered to the Jewish Federation.  The application can also be downloaded from our website:  www.JewishSantaBarbara.org.  Please direct questions to Marilyn Simon-Gersuk; 805-957-1115, x106.

 

In advance, thank you for your partnership.

 

Sincerely,

Michael S. Rassler

Executive Director
