The Spring 2010 grant cycle is closed. The Fall 2010 cycle will open June 1. Please visit the "Deadlines" page for information.

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.
