Jewish National Fund

Rockville Center, New York

Cause Description:
Jewish National Fund is the caretaker of the land of Israel, on behalf of its owners - Jewish People everywhere. JNF's projects provide a better quality of life for all Israelis. JNF has planted more than 240 million trees, developed 250,000 acres of parkland, dramatically increased Israel's water resources, constructed miles of security roads along the Lebanese border, created thriving communities and fulfilled its mandate to provide Zionist education to Jewish children around the world. JNF has built over 450 parks, playgrounds and recreation areas for enjoyment by Israeli families and tourists alike, as well as walking trails, archeological restorations and facilities for the physically challenged. JNF-sponsored scholarships and programs ensure the commitment to enhancing the land and preserving its resources. JNF funded-researchers find solutions to the challenges presented by the Middle East's arid environment. Breakthroughs in water-conservation technologies have enabled Israel's farmers to stay competitive in world markets. JNF also builds soldier/family picnic sites, where the heroic men and women of the Israel Defense Force can share precious time with their loved ones. And JNF-sponsored trips allow thousands of visitors to experience firsthand the wonders of Israel and support its economy.
