Following the violent rioting between Jews and Arabs in mixed cities last May, the New Israel Fund announced that it would allocate NIS 1 million for civil initiatives that would promote shared living. The call for proposals that aim to restore relations between Arabs and Jews attracted almost 600 requests. Of these submissions, the Professional Committee selected 22 initiatives and projects that promote dialogue, shared education, shared cultural development and initiatives and technologies.

The following projects are being funded by the global New Israel Fund organisation. The projects in yellow are the ones being fully funded by New Israel Fund Australia.
