Mosaic United is an international partnership that invests in programs strengthening Jewish identity and connection, particularly among young people. Its Innovation Initiative calls for proposals from organisations with new approaches to engagement, and applications are typically submitted through an online form with a detailed project plan and budget.
Proposals are assessed on innovation, scalability and the strength of the plan, so organisations need a well-developed program before applying.
Who it is for
The initiative is aimed at Jewish community organisations. Funders generally look for organisations that:
- Deliver Jewish identity, education or engagement programs
- Have an innovative model with potential to scale
- Can provide a detailed plan and budget
- Can secure matched or partner funding where required
What it funds and how much
Funding supports program development and delivery. Common uses include:
- Youth and young adult engagement programs
- Family and community connection initiatives
- Program staff and training
- Evaluation and scaling
How to write a competitive application
Innovation funding rewards clear thinking. Here is what makes a proposal stand out.
1. Explain what is new
Be specific about how the program differs from what already exists.
2. Show the plan
Timelines, staffing, budget and milestones.
3. Prove demand
Evidence that the community wants and will use the program.
