Jubitz Family Foundation Grant

The Jubitz Family Foundation offers general support grants to U.S.-based nonprofit organizations through an invitation-only process. Rooted in values of equity and respect for grantee autonomy, the foundation focuses on funding initiatives aligned with its core programs in peacebuilding and environmental sustainability. With a commitment to fostering social justice and systemic change, the foundation seeks partners whose missions closely match its own and who demonstrate inclusive, ethical business practices across all organizational levels. To be considered for funding, new applicants must first submit a Letter of Inquiry (LOI). Current and former grantees may bypass this step and proceed directly to the online portal. Grant proposals are accepted only by invitation, following the review of LOIs. The foundation does not fund requests related to sports, health, building projects, capital campaigns, lobbying, religious or sectarian activities, or programs outside the United States. Additionally, all applicant organizations must uphold non-discriminatory practices and operate under IRS 501(c)(3) status. Grants range from $5,000 to $25,000 for a one-year term and are awarded twice yearly. The foundation operates two cycles annually: the spring cycle opens in January with a submission deadline of March 15, and funding decisions announced around June 30; the fall cycle opens in July, closes on September 15, with decisions issued around December 15. These dates are consistent year over year, indicating a recurring funding structure. Eligible organizations must submit their LOI through the provided form on the foundation's website. The foundation then invites selected applicants to submit full proposals. Only U.S.-based nonprofits are eligible, and funding is not extended to entities outside the United States. Organizations must also demonstrate alignment with the foundation's mission areas—peace or environment—and be free from discriminatory policies or practices. Evaluation is based on alignment with the foundation’s mission, the potential for impact within funded sectors, and the organization’s integrity and inclusiveness. Although no explicit evaluation rubric or contact email is listed, the online grant portal provides a central access point for submission and review. The foundation’s clear biannual schedule, strict eligibility criteria, and focused programmatic areas reflect a streamlined, values-driven grantmaking approach that emphasizes thoughtful selection, due diligence, and the empowerment of grantee partners.
