Judy Dan Fund
Call for Proposals
Temple Emanu-El is soliciting proposals from partner organizations to support the experience and education of art in its various forms, giving priority to both activities within the Temple and those that reach out to the broader Jewish community in Toronto. This could be through presentation of works, public talks and other experiences that promote the appreciation and support of the arts.
The Judy Dan Fund will provide up to $30,000 per annum in support of these activities (up to $10,000 per program for three independent programs).
We are now soliciting proposals for programs that could take place by the end of 5784 (October 1, 2024) and for programs in the 5785 year (October 2, 2024 - September 2025).
