About Us
Britain’s oldest Israel charity
JNF UK is Britain’s oldest Israel charity, supporting the development of the Jewish homeland for 125 years. From building communities to responding in times of crisis, our mission continues to evolve to meet Israel’s changing needs.
We invest in physical and social infrastructure – enhancing education, employment, welfare, culture, and health, particularly in under-resourced areas like the Negev and Galilee.
Today, our work focuses on reducing regional disparities and strengthening community resilience through a wide range of initiatives.
JNF UK remains dedicated to Israel’s progress, continually adapting to support all its people and future.
