Aviv Revolving Loan Fund

The Aviv Revolving Loan Fund supports growth and vitality in the Reconstructionist movement. Aviv means “spring” in Hebrew, and this fund was established through the generosity of anonymous donors to promote fresh, energizing initiatives. Congregations and havurot that have affiliated with the Reconstructionist movement at any level—Enter, Engage or Invest—can apply.  

Aviv Loans are no-interest, up to $20,000 each, with a three-year term; up to two loans will be disbursed each year. Due dates for 2013-14 applications will be posted on this page soon.
