The Levi Lassen Foundation is calling for the submission of proposals for its 2017 Grants Program. The Levi Lassen Foundation focuses on Gender Equality in Israel. They believe in an Israel where the Jewish people achieve self-determination in their homeland and where everyone participates in a shared and just society, predicated on the best values of equality, tolerance and social justice in a liberal democracy.
The applicant must be a grassroots nature and work to advance the status of women in the following areas: economic empowerment of women, women’s leadership training and mentoring, women in the public shere, women’s rights, gender equality issues such as freedom to marry or divorce, violence against women, or women’s empowerment. This also includes incubator projects or pilots for initiating and developing gender equality in any area of Israel’s society or to promote women as leaders of social change.
