Change the Game for Your Chapter

As our Movement grows, so does our ability to innovate programming, execute big ideas, and turn our dreams into a reality. We know that many big ideas come with a price tag, and Gamechanger Grants seek to reduce that barrier. We want there to be nothing in the way of your ability to make a difference, make an impact, and make your chapters stronger. Explore how you can use Gamechanger Grants below and get inspired for your next event.

Opportunities

Gamechanger Grants are BBYO micro-grants, open to all AZA, BBG, and BBYO chapters worldwide, that help enhance a chapter experience. Chapter programs eligible for Gamechanger Grants fall into five categories: 

  • Elevated Chapter Experiences (e.g., bringing a speaker, bubble soccer, escape room, Founders' Fest, sports tournament)

  • Israel Education Programs and Initiatives

  • Chapter Shabbat Dinner ✡️

  • Jewish Holiday Programs ✡️

  • Stand UP (Service, Philanthropy, Advocacy) ✡️

Grants for elevated chapter experiences are determined by a small, diverse group of Teen Coaches who serve in this full-year role on the International Leadership Network (ILN) and are committed to enhancing chapter programming across the order. Grants for Shabbat Dinners, Jewish Holiday programs, Israel Education, or Stand UP are determined by BBYO’s Jewish Enrichment team. 

✡️  Chapter Shabbat Dinners, Jewish Holiday Programs, and Stand UP Grants require coaching with a Jewish Educator before you receive the funds for your program (reach out to jewish@bbyo.org if you have questions about these program types in particular).
