Federation CJA’s Generations Fund CAPS Program is designed to provide access to our Jewish Day Schools. By capping annual tuition from Kindergarten through grade 6 and Secondary I through V, the program gives more Jewish children the opportunity to take advantage of a high standard of educational excellence, as well as a strong Judaic-based curriculum while providing parents with long term reassurance that Jewish day school affordability is here to stay.

The CAPS Program has issued over 6,000 CAPS grants to date.

Tuition CAPS are determined based on household income and number of children enrolled in participating Jewish day schools. Determining your eligibility is easy, completely confidential and produces instant preliminary results. Fill out the anonymous calculator!
