Grantmaking

The New Israel Fund provides grants to organizations that help make Israel a more just, equal, and democratic society.

NIF has provided more than $345 million to more than 950 organizations since our establishment in 1979. Ranging from large grants to organizations like our flagship grantee, the Association of Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI), to smaller grants to community organizations working on social change at the local level, our grantmaking procedure is rigorous, transparent, and based on partnership with our grantees.

Whether grantees receive core grants from NIF or donor-advised funding, they are all legally recognized and registered nonprofits in Israel. Additionally, every grantee must meet NIF’s funding guidelines and undergo regular evaluation for effectiveness and consistency with NIF’s strategic priorities.


NIF provides grants from our core budget to organizations advancing priorities like protecting democratic institutions, building a shared society, or defending human rights (see NIF’s issues). These grants are listed below under the heading “Core Grants.” NIF also makes rapid response grants from its core budget (see under 2023 Rapid Response Grants).

Funders may also choose to make “Donor Advised (DA) Grants” to support specific organizations. This allows NIF to support a wider circle of organizations that meet our criteria and fall within our areas of focus and helps to strengthen progressive civil society in Israel. These grants are listed below under the heading “Donor Advised Grants.”

Note: For Core Grants, the data below represents the amount authorized for the reporting year. For reasons connected to the schedule of our grant payments, this figure may differ from the amount paid to a grantee in the reporting year. Both amounts are listed in NIF’s financial reports, which you can find here.
