The Giving Initiative for Teens (GIFT) teaches Jewish teens about grant-making, non-profit management, fundraising, and Jewish values. The program encourages engagement in the Jewish community and empowers teens to be part of the grant-making process from start to finish, as they work together to raise and allocate funds to distribute to local non-profits. This program is an initiative of the Stroum Jewish Community Center of Greater Seattle.
Our mission is to fund programs to counteract substance abuse in the greater Seattle area in accordance with the Jewish values of tzedek (justice), anavah (humility), and kavod (respect).
