About
Britain's oldest Israel charity
Who we are
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 their future.
The four pillars of our work
Every project we fund sits within one of four areas of impact — together they build a stronger, more resilient Israel.
Education
From mobile classrooms to rocket-proof schools, we give every child in Israel's periphery the chance to learn, thrive and build a future.
View projectsPeriphery
We invest in the people and places far from Israel's centre — strengthening isolated communities across the Negev, Galilee and beyond.
View projectsRestoration & Recovery
When crisis strikes, we respond — rebuilding homes, communities and lives, and standing with Israel in its time of need.

We turn struggling towns into thriving model communities through long-term investment in housing, jobs and enterprise.

Voices from our projects
The real measure of our work is the people whose lives it changes.
For the first time, my children can go to school without fear. JNF UK gave our town its future back.
The mobile classroom changed everything for our village — my daughter now dreams of becoming an engineer.
After October 7th, JNF UK was there within days. We will never forget that we were not alone.
Investing in Yerucham means investing in us. We finally have a reason to stay and build our lives here.
