Please note, the SSJCF receives far more requests for assistance than can be accommodated with limited funds. Consequently, the Fund relies on a series of guidelines established by its Board of Directors to select those programs to which financial support can be awarded.

Non-profit organizations interested in submitting a Letter of Inquiry should first visit the Eligibility page of this site to ensure the project is within the scope of the SSJCF's current grantmaking guidelines.
