Jewish National Fund-USA builds a strong, vibrant future
for the land and people of Israel through bold initiatives and
Zionist education. Since 1901, we have worked hand in hand
with local communities to make wide-ranging investments in
Israel’s North and South. When tragedy struck, the communities on the borders of Gaza and Lebanon reached out to
us directly - and we were able to provide immediate aid. We
continue to work with them on a series of ambitious initiatives
to provide resilience and spur growth. Our pledge to the land
and people of Israel is: “We were there yesterday, we are there
today, and we will be there tomorrow.” More than a century
of work has made us the most trusted name in Israel organizations. With your help, we will keep that promise forever.
StandWithUs is an international, non-partisan education
organization that supports Israel and fights antisemitism.
StandWithUs empowers and energizes students and communities with leadership training and educational programs on
hundreds of college campuses, high schools, and middle schools.
StandWithUs informs through social media, print and digital
materials, films, weekly newsletters, and missions to Israel.
Founded in 2001 and headquartered in Los Angeles, the organization has programs on six continents with chapters and
offices throughout the U.S., in Israel, the UK, Canada, Brazil,
Argentina, the Netherlands, Australia and South Africa.
For over a decade, StandWithUs has consistently received
the highest possible ratings from Charity Navigator and
GuideStar and is ranked among the top 3% of charities in the country. StandWithUs is registered as a 501
(c)(3) nonprofit and Section 46 charity in Israel.
StandWithUs is not politically aligned in any country. The
organization does not and has never advocated specific policies
for Israel. Our work and respect for Israel’s democratically
elected government are not contingent on which parties are in
power. Our goal is to counter antisemitism, educate the public
about Israel, empower others to educate their communities,
and make it possible to have reasonable, informed conversations about Israel’s history, policies, and humanitarian
aid on campuses and in communities around the world.
