NIFC Projects & Initiatives As Israel faces a myriad of challenges, New Israel Fund of Canada is committed to empowering some of the most marginalized communities in the country. Today, we are supporting organizations and projects that are working for a more equal and democratic society in Israel. Take a look at some of the projects we are currently working on to help create the Israel we all know to be possible.
