JNF Australia

Since its establishment in 1901, the Jewish National Fund (JNF) has been committed to ensuring a strong, secure and prosperous Israel for the Jewish people. Delivering tangible projects: What sets JNF apart is its longstanding commitment to supporting clearly defined projects in Israel, covering areas such as community development, water solutions and recycling, environmental R&D, agritech, ecological restoration and the provision of forests, parks, gardens, playgrounds and recreational areas all over the country. JNF also supports a wide range of public benevolent projects, assisting special needs, economically challenged and other disadvantaged communities, with a particular focus on the country's periphery and border regions. Zionist and environmental education: JNF runs a number of education and outreach programs in schools, shules, youth movements and for young adults, covering Israel's history, environment, achievements, challenges and modern day innovations. Through these and other programs, JNF continues to enable the ongoing and vital partnership between our communities in Australia and Israel.
