JFamily: Get Together Grants with PJ Library
2023-11-01 00:00 - 2024-05-31 00:00 (America/Detroit) | The J – Detroit 6600 W Maple Rd, West Bloomfield Township
JFamily’s PJ Library Detroit is excited to once again receive funding from the
Harold Grinspoon Foundation for Get Together grants! This initiative is
meant to inspire, motivate, and empower families to create, host, and lead
their own Jewish experiences with their peers. Over the course of the year,
families can host up to 3 in-person get togethers and receive up to $100
reimbursement for each one!
This is a wonderful opportunity for you and other members of our community to
build and strengthen relationships. Families can gather to celebrate Shabbat
and holidays, do a volunteer project, cook a Jewish food, do a craft project,
come together in support of Israel…the opportunities are endless.
