About us:
New Israel Fund (NIF) is the leading partnership of Americans, Europeans and Israelis committed to democratic change within Israel. For twenty-eight years, NIF has fought for social justice and equality for all Israelis. We believe that Israel can live up to its founders' vision of a state that ensures complete equality of social and political rights to all its inhabitants, without regard to religion, race, or gender.
The New Israel Fund UK was started in 1993 in Britain to bring Israeli society closer to the British public and to serve as the avenue through which it can support equality and social justice in Israel. The “Israel Out of the Ordinary” trip is open to those in the UK and US interested in seeing Israel through a new and challenging perspective.
New Generations is a community of young professionals, social activists, and community leaders in their 20s and 30s who are committed to the work of the New Israel Fund.
