Grant Recipient Responsibilities:
Our community is pleased to be able to provide Israel Quest need-based grants to teens who require them in order to participate in formative Israel experiences during high school. Grant recipients understand that data from their applications may be shared directly with community professionals and the UJEF Trustees. To best evaluate the impact of this program, all grant recipients are expected to participate in data collection instruments such as surveys or focus groups conducted through the Partnership for Jewish Life and Learning or your sponsoring organization(s). Being able to provide teens in the future with this opportunity depends on the generosity of community members including former Israel Quest grant recipients. Our community’s leaders hope you remember the opportunities afforded through the Israel Quest program, and they hope you will be philanthropic with your time or financial giving in the future to support this program for teens travelling to Israel in the coming years.
