JFNA Center for Advancing Holocaust Survivor Care
Announces Request for Proposals 

 
We are pleased to share this announcement from our colleagues at the Jewish Federations of North America for requests for proposals for the enhancement of person-centered, trauma-informed supportive services for Holocaust survivors throughout the United States. These grants  are intended for providers of direct services to Holocaust survivors, those who currently receive funding from the Claims Conference and those who may not. Follow the link in the announcement to a website dedicated to this RFP process for more information, the details of the RFP, and dates and times for two informational conference calls to answer questions about the process. We are thankful to the U.S. government for these grant funds that will assist in keeping Holocaust survivors living in their communities for as long as possible. 
 

The Jewish Federations of North America's Center for Advancing Holocaust Survivor Care announces a request for proposals (RFP) for the expansion of person-centered, trauma-informed supportive services for Holocaust survivors throughout the United States. A description of the RFP process and details about two informational conference calls can be found at www.HolocaustSurvivorCare.org. The deadline to express intent to apply is November 13, 2015 and the application is due December 2, 2015. Please share this announcement widely with your networks.

As you may know, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services awarded JFNA $12 million to advance Holocaust survivor care over five years, pending the availability of federal funds. This is in tandem with Federations' $45 million fundraising effort launched in 2013. Federations are halfway to that goal, and the collective fundraising effort helps provide the match required by the government.

For information about the RFP process, please contact Shelley Rood, Director of the Center for Advancing Holocaust Survivor Care.
