Established in 1979, the New Israel Fund (NIF) has become the leading organisation committed to furthering equality and democracy for all Israelis.

NIF is a partnership between Israelis and supporters of Israel worldwide dedicated to a vision of Israel as the sovereign expression of the right of self-determination of the Jewish people, and a shared society at peace with itself and its neighbours. 

NIF raises funds for Israeli, government-recognised, not-for-profit organisations that comply with Israeli law and respect the principles of the NIF.

In the three decades since its inception, NIF has provided over $US250 million to more than 850 government authorised Israeli NGOs.  NIF is widely credited with building Israel’s progressive civil society from scratch.
