In Dulci Jubilo  is a non-profit foundation established in 1978 to enhance the quality of life in the Berkeley community by encouraging, inspiring, instructing and helping young people enrolled in Berkeley's pre-school, primary and secondary schools to develop, during their formative years, values beneficial to the community.

The IDJ Board of Directors has traditionally determined which requests from the community receive funding based on how many children are served, the creativity of the project, and how well the project meets the general goals of In Dulci Jubilo.  These goals include (but are not limited to) the development in children of positive values in the areas of ecology, aesthetics, ethics, hygiene & general education with the aim of enhancing each child's feeling of self worth as well as furthering an recognition of worth in others, and an appreciation of our area's natural and cultural environment.  

In Dulci Jubilo is currently requesting proposals for grants that focus on school-wide and/or community projects with a particular emphasis on Berkeley's low-achieving student communities.  Funded projects will address the achievement gap using research-based solutions, as well as innovative ideas designed by your community. The deadline for proposals will be February 28th, 2008.   Please contact the IDJ office at 510-845-3499 for more information.
