Deadline: 15-Nov-21
Applications are now open for the Levi Lassen Foundation Grant to support Ethiopian-Israeli Girls and Women (ages 15 to 30).
Levi Lassen also supports NGOs in Israel with a Dutch affiliation, with an emphasis on organizations that assist and care for elderly immigrants from Holland.
Focuses
The Levi Lassen Foundation supports organizations or projects that educate and empower young Ethiopian-Israeli women (ages 15-30).
- The project must have at least some synergies with the overall vision and mission of the NGO
- The project (not necessarily the NGO) must be of a grassroots nature, so also small innovative projects of a large NGO will be considered.
- The project must have a down to earth impact and, at least on the face of it, make a difference.
Funding Information
NGOs may apply for up to 15,000 Euro’s a year and may be given a grant for a period of one year. Grantees may apply for a renewal grant (subject to submitting an evaluation report which has to be approved by the foundation).
