Dear friends,

 

I have been involved in Jewish philanthropy for 20 years. Now that I live permanently in Israel, I hope my experience and knowledge will help build a system for supporting important initiatives and projects that contribute to the development of the country we love. We invite philanthropists to work with us and shape the strategy together, as well as professionals who are already investing their hearts and energy in the same mission. Together, we can make it happen.

About

Koah
ha-Ole

Koah ha-Ole is an open Israeli charitable foundation. Our goal is to become a foundation for foundations — an umbrella organization providing systematic support for cultural, educational and community projects led by new immigrants and for new immigrants.

Our Vision

  • Every wave of aliyah is not only a demographic asset for Israel, but also a cultural, social and economic resource for the country’s development.
  • The integration of new immigrants is a question of Israel’s future.
  • The Foundation’s programs are designed to contribute to the development of an open, modern and democratic Israel.
