New Israel Fund meets the 20 Standards for Charity Accountability.
Stated Purpose:
"helps Israel live up to its founders' vision of a state that ensures complete equality of social and political rights to all its inhabitants."
Year, State Incorporated:
1979, CA
Its aim is to advance liberal democracy, including freedom of speech and minority rights, and to fight inequality, injustice, and extremism that diminish Israel. From Israels first rape crisis centers, to the passage of the law banning torture in civilian interrogations, NIF- funded organizations have driven positive social change and furthered justice and equality. It has provided over $250 million to more than 850 organizations since its inception in 1979. And it is more than a funder; NIF is at philanthropys cutting edge thanks in large part to our action arm Shatil, the New Israel Fund Initiative for Social Change. Today, NIF is a leading advocate for democratic values, builds coalitions, empowers activists and often takes the initiative in setting the public agenda.
The New Israel Fund provides grants to organizations working on the ground in Israel to promote social justice, human rights, religious pluralism, and to combat racism and inequality. In addition, NIF's "action arm" in Israel, Shatil, works to strengthen social-change organizations, groups and activists through consulting and training so they operate at highest capacity. NIF also offer leadership development opportunities and regional events.
