The “third sector” in Israel (non-profit organizations and NGOs) operates extensively in the fields of welfare, education, healthcare, culture, arts, and more. The third sector, which includes about 48,000 organizations, significantly contributes to Israeli society and its citizens. Fundraising from abroad to Israel through philanthropic foundations in Israel is a vital complement to the revenues of the third sector, mainly based on public funding – 64%, self-income – 26%, and donations from endowment funds – 10%.
Philanthropic foundation funding – How does it work?
The majority of organizations in the country are at most only partially aware of the extent of assistance provided by philanthropic foundations in Israel and worldwide – from both Jewish and non-Jewish foundations. The main reason for this lies primarily in the lack of information accessible to the public regarding the philanthropic activities of foundations worldwide, particularly in Israel. Every year, approximately $2.5 billion (!!!) is transferred from thousands of foreign philanthropic foundations to various organizations and organizations in Israel. An additional $250 million is transferred annually from companies affiliated with philanthropic foundations that have a presence in the country.

Philanthropic foundations in Israel and worldwide tend to maintain confidentiality.
When talking about philanthropic foundations, it is important to know that most foundations, both in Israel and worldwide, are not interested in disclosing their activities, operations, budgets, general expenses, and decision-making processes. Most of them are not even registered in Israel and do not have representatives in the country. On the other hand, non-profits seeking assistance from philanthropic funds in Israel are required to provide extensive information and demonstrate that they are subject to monitoring, and are fully responsible for their activities and operations.
Due to the nature of foundations, in order to succeed in fundraising for organizations from philanthropic foundations abroad, an organization ought to utilize a professional body with long-term knowledge and experience in dealing with those foundations. Simultaneously, the organization needs guidance on proper management to enable the receipt of grants from these philanthropic foundations.
