JGather
JGather, an initiative of the Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta, offers engagement grants—neighborhood-based microgrants that empower individuals and organizations to design and host their own meaningful Jewish experiences. What makes engagement grants unique is the flexibility it provides: hosts choose the date, location, audience, and activity that best suit their community. This personalized approach lowers barriers to participation and strengthens Jewish connection on a local level.

“Being able to defray the cost of ways to bring the community together is a wonderful thing. It’s finding other reasons and other ways to bring us together. It’s really a great thing that Federation does.”
