The EAJC was established in the year 2000 following conferences, seminars and consultations with artists and professionals in the cultural sector at which the role of Jewish culture as a source of inspiration and renewal was discussed and articulated. The part culture and the arts play in representing Judaism to the wider world was considered equally important. The mission of the EAJC is to foster creativity and promote access to Jewish culture in Europe.  Since its launch, the EAJC has supported many arts projects including the Judaica 21 international design competition for Judaica artifacts. The EAJC digital collections programme launched Judaica Europeana, a network of heritage institutions that work together to provide integrated access to digital collections via Europeana.eu, a platform for Europe’s museums, libraries and archives

Having looked at the site it seems like the grants stopped in 2014.
