Through the program, grants of $3,000 will support nonprofit organizations in implementing BREAKWEEK, a one-week, organization-wide break designed to reduce burnout, increase staff well-being, and foster sustainable organizational culture.

The BREAKWEEK model offers a powerful alternative to individual PTO by ensuring equitable access to rest for all staff. The pilot demonstrated not only improved mental health outcomes, but also stronger retention, more positive workplace cultures, and enhanced productivity.

New in 2025, BREAKWEEK grants will offer $3,000 to selected organizations, along with an implementation guide, peer support, and coaching. The funding supports the planning and facilitation of a synchronous organizational pause. Ten grantees will each receive a $3,000 grant and wrap-around support to provide their entire team with one-week (five consecutive work days) of paid time-off, taking place at the same time for all employees, and implemented between the months of March through October, 2026.

To be eligible, applicants must be U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofits (including fiscally sponsored organizations) that serve the Jewish community and lead with Jewish values. Applicants must have at least five full-time paid staff

OPENING SOON: Applications accepted from August 21st to September 30th annually
