After your Togethering journey, there’s more waiting for you: reunion Shabbat dinners, the chance to apply for Alumni Microgrants to support what you’re building, and new ways to stay rooted in the community you helped create. In 2025, we’re launching post-trip programs—from Shabbat deep-dives to Jewish ethics exploration (and more!)—as we grow in various cities to meet the needs and desires of our couples.
The connections you made? Time to activate them.
Our Alumni Microgrants provide funding to help you turn your post-trip inspiration into real action, whether you’re diving deeper into Jewish learning as a couple or rallying your cohort to create something meaningful back home.
Cue microgrants: a fresh way to help back the ideas that emerge from your experience—from intimate learning journeys to community-wide initiatives that cultivate your connections. Whatever you want your post-trip journey to look like—we’re here to support you.
Consider this your green light to dream big.
Think of us as your creative partners in making it all happen. Alumni Microgrants programs may include, but are not limited to:
Reimbursements will cover up to 50% of your total cost, with a maximum grant of $250 per experience.
Example 1: If your experience costs $160, you can be reimbursed for 50%, which is $80.
Example 2: If your experience costs $600, 50% would be $300, but the maximum grant is $250, so you would be reimbursed $250.
For Group Gatherings (such as Shabbat dinners or holiday celebrations), you may receive up to $10 per Togethering alum who attends, with the maximum number of attendees limited to the number of people in your cohort.
Important: If you're planning a group experience, only one person may submit the application on behalf of the group. Please note, we are unable to accept multiple individual applications for the same shared experience.
Submit your application for consideration at least 10 business days in advance.
The Togethering team will reach out within 10 business days to ask for details or approve your request.
If approved, you'll receive an email notification with next steps.
Enjoy your experience! When finished, fill out the Report Form that will be emailed to you.
The team will review your report and may contact you for missing documents or information.
Once approved, your reimbursement will be processed and sent to you via check
Sometimes the best ideas start with a conversation.
Drop us an email at alumnimicrogrants@togethering.org. Whether you need a sounding board, want to brainstorm possibilities, are curious what alumni in other cities might be creating, or just want to talk through what Jewish community could look like for you—we're here for it.
After submitting your application, you'll receive an automated confirmation email. If you don’t receive this email, please contact us at alumnimicrogrants@togethering.org. We look forward to receiving your application!
