Jewish Cultural Endowment

The Jewish Cultural Endowment (JCE) supports Jewish cultural programs across the University, sponsoring lectures, conferences, literary events, curricular enhancement, and artistic performances and exhibitions. Its mission is to foster an appreciation of Jewish culture in all its richness and diversity.

The Jewish Cultural Endowment is an independent program that seeks to support a diverse range of events related to Jewish culture for students and faculty at Boston University. The JCE is directed by its own board, which makes decisions separately from the Elie Wiesel Center or BU Hillel.

The JCE invites grant proposals from individuals (faculty, students, and staff) with access to a BU program administration that will be responsible for planning, promoting and executing the event. JCE funded events must take place on the BU campus and should directly benefit the BU community.
