Persons may apply at any time for a Foundation grant, but are encouraged to do so as far in advance of the time the grant is needed as possible. There are no pre-conditions to submitting an application, but grants will not be made until all conditions of the community service employment, association or project are in place. The Foundation will act on each application, and advise the applicant of the Foundation's decision, as promptly as possible. The completed application should be emailed to Eugene D. Cohen at genecohen@jjcf.org or faxed to 602.254.8089, or submitted using the online application. Whenever feasible, the written application will be supplemented by a personal interview. There are no upper or lower limits on the grants, but the higher the requested amount, the more it is hoped that the grantee will be obtaining a share of the project's costs from an additional source. The application may be in any form, but should include at least the following information:

Any Other Information That JJCF Should Consider:


 

1. The notion of "community service" should be understood in its broadest sense to include service that benefits any aspect of society, including both social and environmental aspects. In addition to the service itself, recipients should expect to meet periodically with a representative of JJCF to discuss the on-going service, and to prepare a paper before completion of the service that describes the service and the experience.

2. JJCF must distribute any grants to a Section 501(c)(3) entity. Nevertheless, if the applicant has a suitable project, JJCF will work with the applicant to find a suitable entity through which the funds may be distributed.

3. Anyone receiving a grant will be required to submit various reports, including reports suitable for posting on the website either in document-form or web-form. As a result, the applicant should try to assure JJCF that he or she is prepared and able to provide articulate and insightful reports.
