Funding Limitations

General:

Funding is limited to areas described in our Program Guidelines. Moriah does not provide support for individuals, private foundations, the arts, films or videos, medical research, lobbying or political campaigns.

Israel:

The Israel Program gives priority to grassroots and community-based organizations, advocacy activities, and the development of model programs that can affect national policies. In general, Moriah does not fund service delivery projects, nor does it provide funds for the arts, medical or academic research, private foundations, or scholarships or grants to individuals. The Israel Program no longer provides support for co-existence, environment, and religious pluralism programs. Inquiries about funding for the CIS immigrant population should be directed to the New Israel Fund.

Poverty:

The Poverty Program does not provide support for medical research, scholarships or grants to individuals, or for direct services outside of the District of Columbia.

Women’s Rights and Reproductive Health:

The Women's Rights and Reproductive Health Program supports programs that are international in scope, or that focus on the Latin American region or the United States. In Latin America, grantmaking is focused on Guatemala; the program does not accept proposals for country programs elsewhere. In the United States, the program funds only national policy and advocacy; it does not accept proposals for local projects. The WRRH program does not provide funds for basic research, unless it is part of an explicit strategy for policy reform or improved reproductive health service delivery. The program does not fund direct services, unless they are designed to influence public policy, test new ways of delivering services to previously underserved communities, and/or strengthen women's leadership and rights. Finally, the program does not provide support for microcredit, education, arts or general health programs, nor does it fund video productions, medical research, scholarships or grants to individuals.

Guatemala:

The Guatemala Program does not provide grants for microcredit, education, or healthcare provision, and in general does not fund service delivery projects in any field that do not contain strong elements of community organization, leadership development and advocacy. In addition, the Guatemala Program does not provide support for video productions, scholarships or grants to individuals, capital campaigns, the arts, or medical research.

Environment:

Moriah has closed down its Environmental Program and no longer accepts unsolicited proposals in this area.
