About the MIT Hillel $5K Grant

Since the establishment of the fund in 2004, the MIT Hillel $5K Grant has continued to support events that enhance the experience of Jewish students at MIT. Each year, MIT Hillel invites groups and individuals from the MIT community to apply for funding to support events that engage Jewish students from all over campus, including those who might not otherwise attend Hillel programming. Grant funds are supplied through a generous annual donation provided by the MIT Hillel Board of Directors. Funding decisions are made solely by the MIT Hillel Student Executive Board.

Timeline

  • In order to be considered, grant applications must be submitted at least 4 weeks prior to the date of the event. Visit the on-line application form. We cannot guarantee that applications submitted less than 4 weeks prior to an event will be considered.
  • You will be notified of the decision regarding your grant application no later than 2 weeks prior to the date of your event.
  • We review applications on a rolling basis in the order that we receive them. The sooner you submit an application, the sooner you will be notified of the Board's decision.

Once You Receive Funding
