AJFCA is excited to share the news from the Charles and Lynn Schuster man Family Foundation, which announced their newest worldwide micro-grants initiative today, #MakeItHappen. #MakeItHappen invites individuals 18 and older to submit inspiring ideas for creating Jewish experiences in their communities. From hackathons to meet-ups, Shabbat dinners to service projects, this is an opportunity to get creative and show how small change can lead to big impact. Between October and December 2013, Schusterman will select up to 50 ideas from around the world to receive #MakeItHappen micro-grants of up to $1,000. Five ideas could receive up to $5,000. 
"While investments make change possible, it is people, working in partnership,
that make it happen."
This is a great opportunity for you to mobilize the young people in your community to give life to their passions and make their ideas happen in partnership with your agency.
