Giving in Israel: Guidelines

---

 Grants made in Israel are considered by invitation only through Orly Adler the  Vice President of The Lippman Family Foundation.

• Children, youth, and adults with mental and/or physical challenges
• Physically & mentally abused Women/Girls
• Homeless children, youth, and adults

Priority will be given to projects and programs serving the specified communities in the peripheral regions of Israel, i.e. the Galilee (north of Haifa-Tiberias) and the Negev (south of Be’er Sheva-Ashdod.)

The Foundation will only consider projects and programs that have secured matching funds from governmental and/or other philanthropic sources. We will only consider funding up to 50% of the total project or program budget.

A multi-year grant will only be considered following successful completion and evaluation of the first year of funding from The Lippman Family Foundation.

The Foundation will not consider funding requests for programs serving “at-risk youth” or towards programs in youth villages or boarding schools. 

The Foundation will consider funding requests for program activities or equipment purchases, as well as renovation and refurbishment needs. The Foundation will not consider grant requests for operating budgets.
