Opportunity Overview

📖 About Rothschild Foundation Hanadiv Europe Paths to Leadership Grant

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.

🎁 Benefits

Applicants can request between £10,000 and £40,000 per year for up to two years.

✅ Eligibility Criteria

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

Geographic Eligibility:

Organisations based in Europe, including both EU and non-EU countries, excluding Ukraine, Russia, and Belarus.
UK-based applicants must provide proof of charitable status under UK charity law.

📝 Application Date and Process

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.
