SRE Network 2026 Microgrants

Small grants to help the Jewish nonprofit sector move gender equity work forward.

Creating Jewish workplaces where safety, respect, and equity are lived realities is ongoing, intentional work. For years, SRE Network has helped lay that foundation by bringing organizations together, shaping shared standards, and investing in one of the only funding streams dedicated to gender equity in Jewish communal workplaces.

This work matters. And, it is far from finished.

SRE Network Microgrants provide intentionally flexible funding for organizations ready to put ideas into action and advance gender equity within Jewish communal workplaces.

Spring 2026

In April, 2026, we awarded 26 microgrants of $2,000 each, totaling $52,000 in funding.

Microgrant Project Areas

  • Strengthening Systems of Harm Prevention and Response

    Safe, respectful workplaces are the foundation of a thriving Jewish communal landscape. Organizations must be equipped to prevent harm*, respond with care when harm occurs, and build accountability across their communities.

    *Harm = Sexual harassment, abuse, or discrimination in any form. This includes actions, comments or policies, whether intentional or unintentional, which communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative messages that target persons based upon their marginalized group identity.

  • Advancing Diverse Women’s+ Leadership

    Equitable leadership drives stronger, more inclusive organizations. Increasing the representation and support of women and other underrepresented leaders is essential for a thriving Jewish communal landscape that reflects its diversity.

    +When we speak about women, we do so with an understanding of gender as diverse and expansive, inclusive of anyone who identifies as a woman, trans women, as well as nonbinary individuals for whom this work resonates.

  • Mobilizing Men as Partners

    Lasting culture change requires shared responsibility. Men hold significant influence in many Jewish communal organizations, and their active participation is critical to dismantling harmful power dynamics and fostering equitable leadership and workplaces.

  • Rooting Our Core Values in Jewish Wisdom

    Safety, respect, and equity are more than organizational best practices — they are deeply Jewish values. Jewish texts and teachings can reinforce the values at the heart of this work and help communities ground their efforts in something deeper.

“This work can feel so isolating and difficult, especially given everything happening in the world and how easy it is to fall into despair. This grant gave us some joy and energy to continue the work which is essential to our mission and the change we want to make in the wider world. “
