Help Us Map Philanthropy in Israel’s North
Thursday, July 24, 2025
| | | | | | | | | | Help Us Map Philanthropy in Israel’s North JFN’s Northern Foundations Forum is launching a new initiative to map philanthropic activity in Israel’s North. We’re gathering data through a short questionnaire to create an up-to-date snapshot of investments in the region, both current and anticipated. Our goal is to foster greater coordination, spark strategic collaboration, and support more informed, effective giving. All responses will remain strictly confidential. No individual foundations, federations, or donation amounts will be publicly disclosed. The resulting overview will share only aggregate trends, focus areas, and general investment volumes, helping funders better understand the evolving landscape without revealing specific identities. If you’re funding in the North, or considering it, we invite you to take part in this important effort. Click here for the English questionnaire. Click here for the Hebrew questionnaire. | | | | |
| | | | | | | In our recent Green Funders Forum session with the Tnufa Directorate, the Israeli government agency leading the recovery of Israel's North, funders got an inside look at bold new plans to transform the region into a model of climate resilience and innovation. We explored how philanthropy can power real change through investments in renewable energy, nature restoration, and green economic development. If you're passionate about climate action and building a more sustainable future, don’t miss our next session: | | | | |
