Serve Israel 7-10 Service Trips Grant Application

In the aftermath of October 7th and amidst the ongoing conflict, Israelis need our support now more than ever. Serve Israel is responding with grant opportunities that enable your organization to lead impactful service trips to Israel.

These grants fund transformative volunteer experiences to Israel where participants will engage in hands-on service projects, and provide vital assistance during this time of great need. Participants will contribute to Israel’s recovery and growth, dive into its rich cultural landscape, and forge deeper connections with the Jewish homeland.

For an effective grant application submission, please read the FAQ before answering the questions below. You can preview the application questions here.

Whether you are an expert in planning Israel trips or not, or whether you believe you can recruit a full group or only part of one, we strongly encourage you to apply. Provide as much information as you can in the required fields. We understand there may be many pieces you don’t know yet.

Grants will be reviewed until all funds are allocated and will be accepted no later than October 1, 2024.
