Rothschild Foundation Hanadiv Europei is currently accepting applications for its Paths to Leadership Grant 2026. Interested applicants are encouraged to click here to learn more about this opportunity and apply for it.
The Paths to Leadership Grant provides targeted funding for programmes designed to encourage and support young people in taking on leadership roles within Jewish communities.Jewish communal life depends on skilled professionals and committed lay leaders. However, many communities face a leadership gap, where former youth leaders and student activists disengage before transitioning into adult communal leadership. This grant directly addresses that challenge by supporting initiatives that build a clear pathway from youth engagement to long-term communal leadership.
Eligible applicants must be non-profit organisations operating on a not-for-profit basis.
Applicants may include:
Jewish communal organisations
Educational or leadership-focused non-profits
Youth, student, or young adult organisations
Applicants must submit a proposal that clearly outlines the leadership development approach and intended outcomes.
A strong application should include:
A clear explanation of the leadership challenge being addressed
The target group and participant profile
The skills, knowledge, and attitudes participants will develop
Programme structure, activities, and learning methods
How Jewish knowledge and values are integrated into the programme
A detailed and justified budget
An explanation of sustainability and long-term impact
For existing programmes, applications must clearly show how requested funds support new or enhanced activities rather than ongoing operations.
