Beginning in 2025, Jewish National Fund-USA's will place a strong emphasis on collaboration among grantees. Jewish National Fund-USA's goal is to fund organizations and programs that are interested in collaborating with Jewish National Fund-USA and each other, to both complement the work of Jewish National Fund-USA and provide additional opportunities for Israel engagement and experiences for our shared constituencies. Unlike a traditional foundation, the Jewish National Fund-USA Boruchin Center is creating synergies with and between our grantees in ways that meaningfully accelerate both their own programs and Jewish National Fund-USA’s overarching mission. Given these changes, please note:
