To preserve and strengthen our local and global Jewish community through philanthropic, volunteer, and professional leadership.
Jewish Federation of Delaware Inc’s recent giving shows a broad Jewish communal portfolio anchored by a large transfer to Jewish Federation of North America in both 2024 and 2025, alongside sustained support for Delaware institutions such as Siegel Jewish Community Center, Kutz Senior Living Campus, Albert Einstein Academy, and Kristol Center for Jewish Life. That mix points to a funder that combines local community infrastructure with broader federation and Israel-related commitments. The foundation’s stated work includes Jewish community support and social services, Jewish education, Israel and overseas programs, community security, scholarships and grants, Holocaust education, combatting antisemitism, and leadership development. It also administers named funds tied to education and study in Israel, including the Jerusalem Study Fund, the Jewish Fund for the Future Scholarship Fund, and the GRATZ High School Scholarship Fund. Leadership development appears in the Gilbert J. Spiegel Memorial Fund, while Holocaust education is supported through the Arnold D. Kerr Holocaust Education Endowment Fund & Grant. Across these programs, the foundation supports institutions, students, educators, and community organizations rather than individuals.
Jewish education appears in several named funds. The Jewish Fund for the Future Scholarship Fund supports post-college study in Jewish communal service, Jewish education, Jewish studies, and rabbinical or cantorial degrees, while the Jerusalem Study Fund supports students age 16 or older studying at institutions in Jerusalem or its proximate suburbs in Israel. The GRATZ High School Scholarship Fund awards merit scholarships for grades 9–12 and gap-year students to attend programs in Israel, Jewish camps, or other Jewish educational programs. Leadership development is also explicit: the Gilbert J. Spiegel Memorial Fund supports leadership development programs approved by the federation. Holocaust education is another defined area through the Arnold D. Kerr Holocaust Education Endowment Fund & Grant, which provides one-time grants to educators and community organizations in the Delaware area for classroom work and Holocaust education.
Typical grant sizes cluster in the five-figure range: the 25th percentile is $10,000, the median is $12,850, and the 75th percentile is $75,312. The recent-grants list also shows repeat support to the same recipients across 2024 and 2025, including Jewish Federation of North America, Siegel Jewish Community Center, Kutz Senior Living Campus, Albert Einstein Academy, Kristol Center for Jewish Life, Jewish Family Services of Delaware, Chabad Lubavitch of Delaware, and Congregation Beth Shalom. The foundation’s grants are framed as charitable grants to advance organizational missions, with the active-program listings also emphasizing scholarship, endowment, and grant funds. Several listed program pages accept unsolicited proposals.
