Additional guidelines
When preparing an application, it's essential to understand that the fewer questions an application raises, the simpler and faster the evaluation process will be. Therefore, please ensure the project description and the curriculum have high-quality information. For example, include detailed and relevant information about the organizers, project leaders, project supervisors, and any experts involved in the project. By offering clear and comprehensive information, our board can make a well-informed decision without needing to ask additional questions.
Moreover, if any pending co-funding has been awarded before and/or after you receive our decision, you should communicate this by email with the staff of the JHF (info@jhf.nl) and provide supporting evidence. This will give a clear view of the project's financial viability.
Also, when filling out the budget template, it is essential to follow the provided example strictly: sample budget. This ensures that your project can be assessed more efficiently. If the example is not followed, evaluating your application may have negative consequences for our decision.
Lastly, fill out the "approved/pending" field in the budget correctly ("awarded" when you know you will get the co-funding, "pending" when you applied for funding but are awaiting an answer).
Practical information
The Board of the Dutch Jewish Humanitarian Fund will evaluate the applications. In December, you will be informed about the outcome of your grant application.
War in UkraineDue to the war in Ukraine, the following additional rules apply:
For Ukrainian organizations: Ukrainian organizations can request funding for both humanitarian aid and regular projects.
Humanitarian aid Requests for humanitarian aid should be sent to us by email at m.leeuwin@jhf.nl. Please note that we only provide humanitarian aid support to organizations that previously received a grant from us and who provide a solid request.
Grant applications for regular projects Since 2022, Ukrainian organizations have been exempted from our July 1st deadline, but this changes soon as this exemption ends on December 31st, 2024. If you're planning a regular project for 2025, make sure to apply by then. Starting in 2025, you’ll need to stick to the July 1st deadline for regular projects beginning in 2026.
Regular projects in Ukraine in short:
For Russian organizations: Russian organizations can apply for regular grants, but please be aware that international sanctions against Russia may impact the transfer of funds by JHF. There is a possibility that you may not be able to receive our grant.
For Belarusian organizations: Belarusian organizations can apply for regular grants, but please be aware that transferring funds to Belarus may present challenges. There is a possibility that you may not be able to receive our grant. |
If you have any further questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to contact us.
