The Yashar Initiative
Accessibility Capital Grants
The $12 million accessibility grant initiative generously funded by The Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation aims to increase accessibility for campers and staff with disabilities at Jewish summer day and overnight camps.
This initiative provides day and overnight camps with funding for capital improvements, while also providing funding for professional development, staff training, research, and evaluation with a goal to significantly increase the number of campers and staff with disabilities who can participate in Jewish camp.
Note: The application period for round four is now closed.
