The purpose of the Gottesman Capital Expansion Grants program is to help participating day and overnight camps strategically upgrade facilities in order to increase competitiveness, expand capacity (for campers and/or staff), and attract and retain more campers. 

These grants will focus on the following capital priorities that are to be completed for Summer 2027 or 2028:

• Staff Housing and Staff Spaces (staff housing, meeting rooms, workspaces, lounges, etc.)
• Program Spaces and Infrastructure (program spaces, dining halls, and general infrastructure)
• Climate-related upgrades and improvements 
• Camper Bunks and Home Bases

Please submit your interest form by Friday, September 25th, 2026. 

Be sure to visit FJC website for more details about the program and qualifications to ensure your camp and the project meet eligibility criteria and specifications listed in the description. Please note, FJC will send an invitation for a full application ONLY to qualifying camps who have completed Census 2026 (due September 30th, 2026). This is a competitive program, and only a select number of camps will be invited to complete the full application.
