AJF has developed a resource to guide how you can contribute effectively to Israel’s humanitarian emergency and the evolving needs on the ground. This resource summarises the local organisations and partners in Australia supporting Israel. AJF has produced this resource in collaboration with our key partners in Australia and Jewish Funders Network (JFN), Israel & USA.
JFN works with an extensive network of donors both in Israel and the US and are an integral member of the National Emergency Authority. JFN works in coordination with NGOs, government offices, the business sector and the IDF to identify pressing needs and opportunities for funders to provide assistance. Insights from JFN have been crucial to identifying Israel-based organisations that may not have official affiliates in Australia.
While each of these organisations has been recommended to us by relevant experts and organisations in our network, we have not worked with all of them. We hope consideration of these organisations serves as a useful starting point for your own philanthropic considerations, and strongly encourage you to conduct your own due diligence and make philanthropic decisions that align with your own values and priorities.
Please note that this list will be continuously updated and modified as new information becomes available, subject to the same matters described above. Our hearts and prayers are with the people of Israel, and we join in the hope for peace during these challenging times.
We invite you to share organisations you are funding that are not listed below and resources you find valuable by writing to admin@ajf.org.au.
