Israel Granting Program 2016

Bergen County Section contributes to the Israel Granting Program annually.

NCJW, Inc. will give grants to six Israeli organizations whose work is focused on women’s empowerment, gender equality and religious pluralism. We have been partnering with projects in Israel since 1947 on a national basis. Bergen County Section supports this endeavor annually.

This year’s Israeli grantees are:

• ISHA L’ISHA – Haifa Feminist Center: Fighting against trafficking in women and prostitution project.
• RIFIE — NCJW Research Institute for Innovation in Education at Hebrew University: Training Bedouin Women for the Workforce as Educators in the Pre-School Sector
• ISRAEL HOFSHIT – The Center for Training and Initiatives
• JERUSALEM OPEN HOUSE FOR PRIDE AND TOLERANCE
• YERUSALAMIT MOVEMENT
• HILLEL – The Right to Choose

These are all grassroots projects that work to improve the lives of women, children and families through women’s empowerment and progressive social change. For more information, click on 2016 Israel Granting Partners.
