Dear JewishGen Family,

We are very pleased to announce that the application for JewishGen
Ignition & Signature Grants is now open. The goal of this program is
to stimulate and unleash a variety of new initiatives, productivity
and creativity which will result in additional records being
accessible on JewishGen's award-winning databases, and to expand this
effort beyond our traditional sources of material. As a result, all
Jewish genealogical and historical societies, as well as any
community based organizations, such as a synagogues, schools and
libraries, are encouraged to apply.

JewishGen will be offering ignition grants up to $5,000 and signature
grants of up to $25,000 for exceptional applications. Projects can
focus on primary or secondary records, and are not restricted by any
specific geographic location.

from the beginning, JewishGen has been the pioneer and the leader of

Jewish genealogy. Our databases are unmatched, and we have innovated
new tools, new methods, and new concepts which have benefited
thousands of people. This new program follows in that tradition, and
we look forward to seeing what type of applications come in.

Applications are being accepted now through November 15, 2017.
Winners will be announced in January of 2018.
