| FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1 CONTINUATION: | OUR AIM IS TO ADVANCE LIBERAL DEMOCRACY, INCLUDING FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND MINORITY RIGHTS, AND TO FIGHT THE INEQUALITY, INJUSTICE AND EXTREMISM THAT DIMINISH ISRAEL. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4D: | 1) Social and Economic Justice: One of NIF's long-term goals is to reduce social and economic gaps by empowering Israel's most disadvantaged citizens. NIF works with grantee organizations to promote workable policies and programs addressing poverty, homelessness, unemployment, and urban decay in low-income communities, especially in the geographic and social periphery. EXPENSES: $3,845,806. GRANTS: $2,605,464. REVENUE: $NONE. 2) Religious Freedom: NIF aims to promote freedom of - and from - religion in Israel, and to encourage a more tolerant society that embraces the rich diversity of Jewish identity and practice. Our grantees advocate for equal allocation of resources to include non-Orthodox Jewish services and education; strengthen liberal elements within Orthodoxy; and combat religious extremism including the exclusion of women from the public sphere. EXPENSES: $590,657. GRANTS: $441,778. REVENUE: $NONE. 3) Other - SAFETY NET RESPONSE TO 10/7 ATTACKS AND WAR IN GAZA: Following the atrocities that Hamas committed against Israeli communities near the Gaza border and the ensuing war, NIF mobilized resources and staff around the world to meet the immense needs of the moment. Our response focused on four areas: Providing humanitarian aid and basic needs; protecting civil rights in wartime; bolstering Jewish-Arab relations to prevent escalating tension; and providing a peaceful, democratic vision for Israel's future. Examples include: A) Providing Humanitarian Aid: Hundreds of thousands of residents of towns near the Gaza border and southern Israel - including Jewish Israelis, Bedouins, and migrant workers - have been internally displaced following the Hamas attack on October 7 and the ensuing war. NIF and our grantees haveprovided humanitarian aid and basic needs for many of them, including arranging for temporary and long-term housing solutions, distributing food and cooking supplies, providing medical attention and psychological support, organizing educational and recreational activities for children, and more. B) Protecting Civil Rights in Wartime: Arab/Palestinian Israelis have faced disproportionate policing since the start of the war, including surveillance, arbitrary arrest, and threats of violence and harassment. More than 250 Palestinian Israelis have been detained in recent months, many of whom were released without charges every having been brought. The Emergency Coalition of Palestinian-Israeli NGOs, created with the support of an NIF rapid response grant, has provided legal aid to affected individuals and advocated for fairer enforcement of freedom of expression laws. In addition, NIF grantee, FakeReporter, is a watchdog organization that combats malicious activity and fake news online and in messaging platforms. Since October 7, FakeReporter has teamed up with members of the Israeli tech community to create "Digital Dome," a central address for reporting harmful content that incites to violence, amplifies racism, or disseminates lies. DEMOCRATIC INFRASTRUCTURE Advances democratic society in Israel through work in three areas: Supporting Grassroots Movements and Public Education Campaigns; Formulating New Ideas & Policies; and Cultivating Leaders & Leadership Networks. Examples include: - NIF grantees Mitvim and the Berl Katznelson Foundation established a taskforce of experts that can provide lawmakers and opinion leaders with political analyses, policy alternatives, and tangible steps toward ending the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This work, which will last three years, will develop a new policy paradigm of a gradual peace with the Palestinians and security for Israel. - Shatil ran a course called "Tzameret-Kama" (meaning "peak") for 18 Jewish and Palestinian women in middle-management positions at NGOs. The course's objective was to give them, the future leaders of civil society, the tools to take on senior roles. EXPENSES: $9,770,686. GRANTS: $9,332,397. REVENUE: $NONE. |
