Giving Opportunities
Challenge Grant Program

The ESTA Foundation is creating a new partnership with the industry that will help us all take care of our friends and colleagues when they may need it most. The Behind the Scenes Annual Challenge Grant Program is an opportunity for you to collaborate on a project that has guaranteed success, essentially doubling your dollars given.

Whether you decide to sponsor one of the already established challenge grant slots or create a new challenge grant, every dollar Behind the Scenes raises will double thanks to your partnership with us. And if one of the openings does not fit your budget, please feel free to contact us about customizing the right Challenge Grant opportunity with you.

To become a Challenge Grantor, or for more information, contact Lori Rubinstein at 212-244-1421 or info@estafoundation.org.
