Organizations wishing to be considered for funding by the JEHT Foundation should first carefully review the Foundation's program guidelines. The Foundation has no restrictions on the type of support it will consider so long as an organization's work is consistent with the Foundation's program interests and permissible under applicable U.S. charities law. The Foundation primarily makes grants to public charities classified as tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) by the Internal Revenue Service, but will consider other organizations if their purposes are consistent with those established by the IRS for nonprofit organizations and can meet a 501(c)(3) financial equivalency test. The Foundation does not make grants directly to individuals or consider requests outside its program areas. Its funds cannot be used for lobbying.

We require letters of inquiry from all organizations seeking grants from the Foundation for the first time, or from current grantees seeking funding for projects or programs we have not previously funded. There is no specific limit on the number of requests we will consider from a single organization or on the number of years we will fund an organization. Grant amounts are determined based on the scope of the project, the size of the applicant's budget, the likelihood that other support can be raised, and the JEHT Foundation's available financial resources in a given year. Our staff will carefully review all letters of inquiry. If a request fits within its program guidelines and the Foundation is interested in considering it further, you will be asked to submit a full proposal with supporting materials. Applicants will be notified if the Foundation will not be able to further consider the request.
