Mazel tov to the latest cohort of Young Leadership Division (YLD) Microgrant Program recipients!
With the YLD Microgrant Program, YLD hopes to create a thriving, vibrant Jewish Cleveland young adult community by empowering individuals or groups to create, plan, and host experiences for Jewish Clevelanders (ages 22-45).
YLD Microgrant Program recipients may receive up to $1,000 to support their projects per calendar year. YLD Microgrant Program funding is available twice annually, with applications due in July and December.
“Since its inception in 2017, the Microgrant Program has helped young Jewish Clevelanders to imagine and create personalized events and meaningful experiences for our peers,” said Cameron Orlean, YLD Board chair. “The Board and I are excited to see such a diverse range of programming for young adults in Jewish Cleveland this year.”
