Project Name: Global Jewish Grants Is the project being hosted by a non-profit/charitable organization? Yes/No If YES, please provide the name of the organization, its address, and charitable registration number 9. Is the project a collaboration between two or more past ROI participants? Yes/ No If YES, who are they and what is their role in the project? 10. Please describe the project for which you are seeking funding? Please describe the your motivation for creating, how it will work, and what its goals are (250 words, maximum). I want to create an online project to allow individuals from the world to give small grants to projects being undertaken by Israeli teens who are connected to the Israel Association of Community Centers (matnassim). The goal is create connections between Diaspora Jews, Israelis, and others with strong relations to Israel and its diverse population to make real investment with pointed impact. The IACC reaches vastly different populations, Jews, Arabs and Christian, native-born Israelis and immigrants, from diverse socio-economic backgrounds, and different lifestyles. With small sums that will add up to grants of $500$1000 to teenagers to run communally-based projects, Global Jewish Grants will allow linkages to be formed with little overhead. Small grants by individuals be made to an international non-profit organization. Online they will see projects that teens are interested in running and will flag their donation for that philanthropic investment. They will then network this to the Facebook friends through a specially designed Facebook application. When a project has hit the amount of commitments it needs, the funds will be released to the teen. The Israeli teen will post progress reports to the Facebook Group around his/her project and real time visits will be possible when donors come to Israel. The coordination of this end will come from the IACC.
