Enter the contest. The Foundation issues grants to a wide variety of educational, scientific and charitable institutions whose humanitarian goals are in keeping with the objectives of the Foundation. The Youth Board is an educational initiative, established in 2019, for middle and high school students. Members of the Youth Board learn about philanthropy, develop a mission statement, issue a Request for Proposals and determine how to distribute $5,000 of the Foundation’s funds to one or more nonprofit organizations. https://www.kaplunfoundation.org/banner daily 0.75 2017-10-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc5dd9393a63276652149e7/1544995733973-MU7JIG0R37K6AB4PO76S/family-table-winner.jpg Banner https://www.kaplunfoundation.org/contact daily 0.75 2024-11-17 https://www.kaplunfoundation.org/banner-2 daily 0.75 2018-10-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc5dd9393a63276652149e7/1539698784088-RW7U4UTXYLWSKIYSWDAW/28308353597_ff47acdbb2_o.jpg Banner 2 https://www.kaplunfoundation.org/banner-3 daily 0.75 2018-10-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc5dd9393a63276652149e7/1539713133184-Y199B4VDLRT9HCIXEFP1/rabbi1.jpg Banner 3 https://www.kaplunfoundation.org/faq daily 0.75 2024-11-17 https://www.kaplunfoundation.org/banner-4 daily 0.75 2018-10-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc5dd9393a63276652149e7/1539729658908-SB2CZ8JX2OVSE444CNG5/ASandjudges.JPG Banner 4 https://www.kaplunfoundation.org/grant-app daily 0.75 2025-05-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc5dd9393a63276652149e7/1544486328109-GH5YNAON8KUUIQO1QDEA/image-asset.png Grants An ambulance donated by Mr and Mrs Kaplun (far left) in 1948 https://www.kaplunfoundation.org/school-teachers-and-administrators daily 0.75 2025-10-07 https://www.kaplunfoundation.org/jewish-values daily 0.75 2020-10-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc5dd9393a63276652149e7/1601515627479-0OXIRFTKK4BWEW27HZ5Q/JTFN-Jewish+Values-2_Page_1.png Jewish Values https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc5dd9393a63276652149e7/1601515660793-KPH7PVIG9IJQ3T594FJZ/JTFN-Jewish+Values-2_Page_2.png Jewish Values Thank you to our partner, the Jewish Teen Funders Network, for sharing this resource with us. https://www.kaplunfoundation.org/youth-board daily 0.75 2025-12-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc5dd9393a63276652149e7/1a297f77-3140-484e-b6ca-2c87e115f377/Screen+Shot+2022-12-28+at+8.50.41+PM.jpg Youth Board - Make it stand out Samantha Camiker, a member of the 2021-22 Youth Board, wrote about her experience in the Detroit Jewish News. https://www.kaplunfoundation.org/thank-you-for-your-submission daily 0.75 2022-12-29 https://www.kaplunfoundation.org/youth-board-ceremony-202122 daily 0.75 2022-04-22 https://www.kaplunfoundation.org/rfp-with-form daily 0.75 2026-02-15 https://www.kaplunfoundation.org/thank-you-for-your-submission-rfp daily 0.75 2025-12-31 https://www.kaplunfoundation.org/request-to-be-notified daily 0.75 2025-01-20 https://www.kaplunfoundation.org/essay-contest daily 0.75 2026-03-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc5dd9393a63276652149e7/1539713632244-LNQF6SNITQGTX6JGRYWG/43127984912_9c483e7b49_o+%281%29.jpg Essay Contest https://www.kaplunfoundation.org/contest-finalists daily 0.75 2025-09-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc5dd9393a63276652149e7/1539716271681-RBLA4AFU0UAVZT0G3CG7/Threejudges.jpg Contest Winners & Finalists - LEVEL I FINALISTS—ESSAY TOPIC FOR GRADES 7, 8 AND 9 CONTESTANTS ““Of all the good deeds you hope to perform in the future, which one will you be most proud of, why, and how will it inspire you?”” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc5dd9393a63276652149e7/1539716273409-6QOL5M361OX6VC5UHA4F/43127969142_21507e8c82_o.jpg Contest Winners & Finalists - LEVEL II FINALISTS—ESSAY TOPIC FOR GRADES 10, 11 AND 12 CONTESTANTS “Remembering the Holocaust: What can you co so we never forget and what steps can we take so it never happens again?” https://www.kaplunfoundation.org/rfp daily 0.75 2026-02-01
