The Jewish Funders Network (JFN) plays a pivotal role in convening the field of Jewish philanthropy, especially during the ongoing crisis in Israel. Many members have expressed interest in investing in Israel, given the potential for both financial returns and social impact. Israel's technology sector, which contributes significantly to its GDP and exports, has been particularly affected by the recent war due to its young workforce often being called for military service. To support Israeli tech companies during this challenging time, several investment initiatives, including Iron Nation and Safe Dome, are being established. These initiatives provide an opportunity for diversified investment; they also enable companies receiving funding to access to matching funds from the Israel Innovation Authority.

On January 9th, join us for a program that will utilize the format of JFN’s Impact Investing Roundtable to introduce JFN members to these funds and provide insights into the Israeli investment landscape at the current moment. The event aims to highlight opportunities for making impactful investments that can support Israel's recovery and growth.

Please Note: This program will feature solicitations from two investment funds. While JFN is facilitating the introduction of these funds, it does not provide investment advice or act as a broker; this program is offered entirely as an informative service to our Membership in an effort to complement members’ philanthropic goals.
