Minimum and Maximum Requests: Applicants can request between $500 and $2,500, up to $50 per person.

Funds are provided as reimbursements upon proof of receipts/payment. You may request 50% of the funds at the start of the project and the remaining 50% upon completion. Reimbursements are processed via ACH (for U.S. applications) or PayPal. If PayPal is not available in your country, please specify this in your application.

You have 3-6 months from the project approval date to start using your grant funding, but you must use the funds by September 1st. Extensions may be discussed if needed.

Review Process: Applications are evaluated based on project goals, intended impact, alignment with at least one of the Microgrant program goals, and adherence to REALITY’s values. Applicants will be notified of the decision within 3 weeks.

For general events, the typical funding guideline is up to $50 per person. This amount may vary based on the specifics of the project. For Dinner & Dialogue events, funding ranges from $25 to $40 per person, depending on the event’s location.

Absolutely! You can propose your own initiative as long as it aligns with the core goals of Microgrants: introducing new people to REALITY, raising awareness about upcoming Journeys, and fostering conversations about Israel. Just be sure to include a segment where you share your own REALITY experience or invite alumni to do so.

Yes, part of your event should raise awareness about the upcoming REALITY Journeys. This can include sharing key details about the program and encouraging potential applicants to consider participating.

You may use the Microgrant for an event you already planned, as long as it meets the Microgrant requirements: introducing new people to REALITY, raising awareness about upcoming Journeys, and fostering conversations about Israel.

The Microgrant covers up to $2,500 to help fund various event expenses. However, it may not cover the entire cost of the event, so please ensure your budget aligns with the grant amount.

You may apply for a Microgrant twice per year, for two seperate initiatives. You cannot receive two microgrants for the same project within a single year.

After project completion, grantees are required to submit a short project reflection. REALITY will collaborate with grantees to promote the project's impact within our network. If possible, please provide the REALITY Team with photos from your event.
