Jewish Federation of Cleveland Collaborates to Grant $900,000

The Jewish Federation of Cleveland has teamed up with Healing Across the Divides to award $900,000 in grants to women’s health care groups in Israel.

The Collaborative for Healthy Women aims to improve health care for underserved Israeli women. The collaborative will fund five community-based projects this year. The grants are awarded for a three-year period with annual renewal requirements.

The five grassroots projects share goals such as sexual education, health education and improving health rights for Arab women.

“Together we are creating a dynamic environment,” said Oren Baratz, vice president, external affairs, Jewish Federation of Cleveland in a press release. “We are building a culture of professional exchange, cross-cultural partnerships and sustainable systemic change.”
