Grants

The SCRF was designed to support small congregations (250 membership units or less) at Union for Reform Judaism-sponsored events for the purpose of providing leadership opportunities and enhancing leadership skills. Attendees are encouraged to share their experiences with their congregations to help create well-run and spiritually fulfilling congregational communities. Limited funds are available to attend:

• Regional and North American Biennials
• Conferences
• Para-professional education at HUC-JIR
• And more!
