HMI Alumni Micro Grant Guidelines

Alumni Micro Grants are intended to support you as you explore Judaism and your connection to the HMI community and larger Jewish community. While not intended to cover the whole cost of a program or opportunity, we hope the grants are helpful in supporting your continued Jewish gatherings, celebrations, and learning.

General Guidelines:

  • Alumni Micro Grants are available to HMI alumni at any point in their alumni journey
  • The opportunity should be centered around an element of Jewish learning or ritual to be eligible
  • All grants are made in the form of reimbursements after the event
  • If you are co-hosting an event, only one Alumni Micro Grant will be approved per event
  • If you are attending a program with your HMI friends, you can either apply for a bulk set of tickets (i.e. five tickets) or each individual attendee can apply separately

If you have a question about whether the program or opportunity you are interested in is eligible or if you need support incorporating Jewish learning or ritual in your program, contact us at info@honeymoonisrael.org.
