Deadline: 15-Apr-24
The Association of Jewish Refugees (AJR) awards grants to a range of Holocaust educational and commemorative projects.
The Association of Jewish Refugees provides social and welfare services to Holocaust refugees and survivors nationwide.
Mission
- To represent and care for Britain’s Jewish refugees and survivors of Nazi oppression and commemorate their experiences and contributions to society. To combat antisemitism by supporting teaching and learning about the Holocaust.
Vision
- A society free of antisemitism that remembers the Holocaust and those who were murdered, and that honours the Jewish refugees and survivors of Nazi oppression.
Duration
- The AJR considers proposals for multi-year grants, generally of no more than three years in duration. Funds for the second and third years of such grants are not guaranteed.
- Recipients will be required to submit comprehensive reports at the specified milestones in order to satisfy the AJR that subsequent funds should be released.
Eligible Projects
- The AJR considers applications for projects relating to education, research and remembrance of the Holocaust and the events that led to it.
- The AJR welcomes project proposals which seek to link historical events to contemporary issues relating to refugees, antisemitism and genocide, however it generally does not consider proposals which only focus on the present day.
- The AJR prioritises projects which engage with the formal education sector, primarily for the benefit of teachers and their students. Other projects which are broadly educational in nature but whose target audience consists of adults or those outside of the formal education sector (e.g. exhibitions, events, archives, etc.) will also be considered.
- The AJR particularly encourages applications which seek to make meaningful use of resources produced by the AJR such as the Refugee Voices video archive and the UK Holocaust Map.
Eligibility Criteria
- Applications must be made on behalf of a UK-based charitable organisation.
- Applications are not accepted from for-profit enterprises or individuals.
- After an application has been submitted, AJR may contact the primary applicant to clarify any points and/or to request additional information. All applications will then be considered by the AJR’s Trustees, who will assess the proposal based on its adherence to the AJR’s values and priorities; its likelihood of success; the scale of its impact; its engagement with the field; its sustainability and its financial picture.
- Please note that it may take up to three months to be notified about the result of your application. For time sensitive proposals, please plan ahead. Successful applicants will receive a grant offer and conditions letter, which will set out the expectations relating to ongoing monitoring and consultation, grant instalments, evaluation and how the AJR’s support should be acknowledged.
