Blocking Democratic Backsliding, Building a Better Future

The New Israel Fund’s founders envisioned an Israel that reflected their progressive values. Thousands of Israelis and supporters of Israel worldwide have since joined forces to push for an Israel where everyone can participate in a shared and just society. Together, we are working to build a stronger democracy in Israel, rooted in the values of equality, of inclusion, and of social justice.

The New Israel Fund provides grants to organizations that help make Israel a more just, equal, and democratic society!

NIF has provided more than $345 million to more than 950 organizations since our establishment in 1979. Ranging from large grants to organizations like our flagship grantee, the Association of Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI), to smaller grants to community organizations working on social change at the local level, our grantmaking procedure is rigorous, transparent, and based on partnership with our grantees.

Whether grantees receive core grants from NIF or donor-advised funding, they are all legally recognized and registered nonprofits in Israel. Additionally, every grantee must meet NIF’s funding guidelines and undergo regular evaluation for effectiveness and consistency with NIF’s strategic priorities.
