New Israeli Impact Investing Vehicles

Posted on News by Jewish Funders Network · August 18, 2021 9:56 AM

Ogen – Free Loan Fund, a JFN member that makes interest-free loans to Israelis in need, is now offering two new impact investing options.

The first new option, in partnership with Keshet DAF, Israel’s first-ever donor-advised fund (launched in 2019 by JFN Israel and partners), enables Keshet account holders to allocate a chosen sum (minimum ILS 100,000) from their fund toward an Ogen Impact Loan. The funds will be loaned out to small businesses and nonprofits through Ogen, before being returned, with 1 percent annual interest, back to the donor's Keshet DAF account after five years.

Israel's Oil Spill Crisis: A Call to Action from JFN's Green Funders Forum

Posted on News by Jewish Funders Network · March 03, 2021 11:59 AM

Israel is currently facing one of its worst-ever ecological disasters — an unprecedented oil spill affecting the country’s entire coastline. On Feb. 17, an estimated 1,200 tons of oil spilled from a tanker approximately 30 miles off Israel’s coast, but the spill was not immediately reported. Almost all of Israel’s coastline was covered with batches of hazardous tar. In response, JFN’s Green Funders Forum held an emergency briefing last week, featuring representatives of Israel’s Nature and Parks Authority and key environmental NGOs. (Watch it here or scroll down to the bottom of this page.)

Philanthropy is urgently needed to assist with cleanup and prevention efforts.

Navigating the Post-Pandemic Future in North America and Israel

Posted on News by Jewish Funders Network · June 30, 2020 1:17 PM

Last Rosh Hashanah, when you heard the familiar Unetaneh Tokef liturgy about who will live and who will die, especially the part of “who by plague,” did it occur to you that in the coming year a pandemic might kill hundreds of thousands of people and turn our entire world upside down?

New Report on Israel's Post-Covid Social Landscape

Posted on Resources by Maya Natan · June 22, 2020 5:13 PM

In the aftermath of the corona crisis, what forces and trends are shaping the new social landscape in Israel? Which global processes has the crisis accelerated, and how might these affect the social fields in Israel where philanthropy plays a role? What are the long-term changes we can expect?

These large and ongoing questions continue to accompany day-to-day philanthropic work and influence our ability to make decisions about both the “here and now” and the long-term.

On This Covid Yom Ha’atzmaut, Let’s Hit the Reset Button

Posted on The President's Desk by AndrĂ©s Spokoiny · April 28, 2020 5:10 PM
