As the COVID-19 pandemic spreads around the world, it affects us all in profound ways. The virus has revealed inequities and vulnerabilities in all of the societies it has affected, including in Israel.

The New Israel Fund’s task during this public health emergency is to see the big picture and line up all of the resources we can in order to help all Israelis make it through this crisis.

We are doing what we do best – bringing together our supporters from around the world with a shared mission: In this moment of crisis, use our collective resources, expertise, and relationships to help make things better.

NIF has created a Crisis Action Plan with three strategies that will serve as the primary focus of our work during this period:

1. Protecting the Most Marginalized and Vulnerable Communities
2. Defending Civil Liberties and Democracy
3. Maintaining a Strong and Vibrant Civil Society

Take a minute to watch this video we’ve put together about the Crisis Action Plan and the work we’re doing right now on the ground in Israel.

Protecting the Most Marginalized and Vulnerable Communities

Civil society organizations are looking out for those hit hardest by the COVID-19 pandemic by ensuring equal access to healthcare, essential services, and public health information and by advocating for just and equitable economic policies that leave no one behind.
