PARTNERSHIPS

YALA is once again thrilled to partner with Movement synagogues, clergy, and Jewish organizations to create meaningful experiences for young adults in the 2025–2026 fiscal year.

We are offering microgrants to support initiatives and events that foster engagement and connection among young adults in your community.

Grants will be awarded from August 2025 through June 2026 as follows

• Up to $400 for a first-timer. If your synagogue did not hold either a Synagogue Partnership or Beyond Walls event in 24-25.
• Up to $300 for returnees. If your synagogue held either a Synagogue Partnership event or Beyond Walls event last year.

Microgrants are available for two types of partnerships: Synagogue/Organization Partnerships and Beyond the Walls Partnerships. Each synagogue/organization will be awarded one grant per year in total (not one grant per type of partnership).

1. Synagogue/Organization Partnerships – These involve communal events held within a synagogue, organization space, or external venue.
2. Beyond the Walls Partnerships – These are informal gatherings with a clergy member held outside the walls of a synagogue, in more casual or public settings.

We look forward to supporting your efforts to engage and inspire local young adults through creative and meaningful programming.
