What is an Application Advocate?

Available in Español

Throughout the application process, select Tzedek Grantmaking Fellows will serve as application advocates. Application advocates are available to support you throughout any aspect of the application process. If you would prefer to have a conversation with an application advocate instead of completing the online application, please contact us at brilliance@tzedeksocialjusticefund.org.

Role of application advocate:

  • Serves as a community translator to the application process, providing language accessibility, technology support, and increased access to the application and all its moving pieces for the community asking for the award 
  • Regularly meets with community members during the open process of the application to check in and adjust application asks as necessary 
  • Updates and communicates with other Fellows and Tzedek as necessary with information from community check-ins 
  • Builds connection between multiple communities during the process (if applicable)
  • Documents and communicates any concerns and/or feedback to Fellows and Tzedek coming from community members
  • Maintains and updates all information about and from applicants until application deadline closes
  • Advocate must recuse themselves from decisions involving awards given to the communities they represent

Tzedek (pronounced “tz” as in ritz, TZEH-dek) is the Hebrew word meaning justice, which is at the heart of our mission.
