SRE Network invests in strengthening the capacity of Jewish organizations through grantmaking to create a Jewish communal landscape where safe, respectful, and equitable efforts are consistently funded, prioritized, and implemented so change can happen sustainably and systemically.

Through our grantmaking efforts, we hope communities will be strengthened, become more cohesive, experience healing, and have deeper trust in each other, their institutions, and leaders.
