WOMEN FOR ISRAEL

Jewish National Fund-USA's Women for Israel (WFI) is a dynamic group of women philanthropists looking to network with others who share a passion for building a prosperous future for the land and people of Israel. We account for approximately 33% of JNF-USA’s total annual giving. 

 

Since 1998, women donors to JNF-USA have amplified the work of our partners in Israel and our mission and values. Under the leadership of visionary women, we have built up towns, changed lives, and made a difference. Our WFI National Executive Board works to connect members with one another to foster strong philanthropic, social, and professional relationships. We are a growing, vibrant, and strong network with a direct impact on the land and people of Israel.

 

Join us in making a difference in Israel and around the world. Join us in participating in local and national Women for Israel initiatives and programming. Join us on boards both locally and nationally to help shape the future of women’s giving at Jewish National Fund-USA.
