The New Israel Fund is the leading organization advancing democracy and equality for all Israelis. They believe that Israel can live up to its founders’ vision of a state that ensures complete equality of social and political rights to all its inhabitants, without regard to religion, race, gender or national identity.
Widely credited with building Israel’s progressive civil society from scratch, NIF has provided more than $200 million to more than 800 cutting-edge organizations since its inception.
Their values drive their work. They fight inequality, injustice and extremism because they understand that justice is the precondition for a successful democracy — and the only lasting road to peace. The New Israel Fund’s founders wanted to connect with Israel in a way that reflected their progressive values, and thousands of Israelis and Diaspora Jews have joined with them for that reason. Their supporters love Israel, and see it clearly as striving for an ideal not yet attained.
