Jewish National Fund (JNF)
The Jewish National Fund (JNF) has planted the seeds of Israel’s future since 1901 – buying and developing land, building communities, and tackling today’s urgent challenges. Whether you’re in the U.S. or abroad, a Jewish National Fund-USA supporter makes a direct impact on the people and places who need it most.
What Is the Jewish National Fund?
From its early days purchasing swaths of barren terrain, the Jewish National Fund Israel division has transformed the landscape into fertile fields, thriving forests, and vibrant towns. Today, JNF’s mission spans:
- Afforestation & land revitalization, creating over 250 million trees across Israel’s hills and valleys
- Water security through reservoirs, drip-irrigation technology, and desalination partnerships
- Community development, including playgrounds, parks, and green spaces, brings Israelis together
- Emergency response: The Jewish National Fund Emergency Fund provides rapid aid to wildfire survivors and those displaced by conflict
JNF-USA: Our Bridge Across the Diaspora
As the Jewish National Fund-USA, our network of chapters, Young Leadership groups, and donor circles connects American Jews (and friends of Israel) directly with on-the-ground projects. By hosting tree-planting ceremonies, educational tours, and virtual briefings, JNF-USA turns every JNF donation into a personal journey where you see your support grow in real-time.
Why JNF Is More Relevant Than Ever
In an era of climate change and regional instability, JNF’s dual focus on sustainability and security has never been more vital. By supporting JNF today, you help:
- Prevent desertification and combat global warming through large-scale tree planting
- Strengthen Israel’s resilience with fortified fire watch towers and rapid-response emergency kits
- Empower vulnerable communities, from young families in the Negev to seniors in remote northern villages
