A long-term investment in the future of the State of Israel and the Jewish People can be made through an endowment fund, whereby your investment generates annual income to increase the size of your donation. Endowment funds provide a reliable source of revenue for Keren Hayesod as they are protected against economic fluctuations and political changes. The funds provide finances during emergencies, when an urgent response to the needs of the State of Israel and the Jewish people in real-time is required. Creating an endowment fund is the ideal way to mark a significant event or milestone, to honor someone special, or to commemorate the memory of a loved one and to establish an eternal and personal connection to the State of Israel for future generations.

The endowment funds are distributed in the donor’s or beneficiary’s name to a Keren Hayesod cause selected by the donor. This may include rescuing endangered Jews, bringing new olim to Israel and providing for their immediate needs; helping disadvantaged youth to overcome educational and social gaps; assisting the elderly and other vulnerable populations of Israel; strengthening Israel’s periphery; and enhancing Jewish identity and solidarity with Israel among young Diaspora Jews.
