Starting something new on your own!

Join the Jewish Engagement Lab

We can help you, while you help the community. This group inspires, encourages and supports Jewish innovation in San Diego.

FEBRUARY WORKSHOP: We’ve covered the importance of piloting, this month we’ll workshop as a group several of our own Lab project founders ideas and give them feedback, answer their questions, and challenge them with recommendations. Volunteer to be our first Idea Round Table participants.email Jennie@startup18.org if you want to present your pilot idea at this meeting. We will take up to 3 and allocate 15 minutes each.

In addition, we’ll talk about Covenant Foundation, Hadassah and new Natan Grants. Deadlines for Covenant Foundation and Hadassah are Feb. 10 and 21 respectively. New Natan Grants for projects dealing with Hate, Russian community programs and Books are in March. We’ll talk about the nuances of each and answer questions you have about the Foundations and their focus and past grantees.
