WOMEN FOR ISRAEL

Jewish National Fund-USA Women for Israel is a dynamic group of female philanthropists who share a passion for building a prosperous future for the land and people of Israel. We account for approximately 33% of JNF-USA’s total annual giving, contributing $30 million to date.

 

It was Jewish National Fund-USA women who raised the dollars to build the town of Zuqim, deep in the Negev Desert, spearheading Jewish National Fund-USA’s Blueprint Negev initiative in 2000. With determination and generosity, from a parcel of sand, these visionary women built a town that 400 people now call home. This is the power of JNF-USA women. We change lives.

 

We participate in our local Women for Israel events. Many of us are leaders in our Jewish communities. Some of us serve on JNF-USA’s national team.
