One Israel Fund’s 30th anniversary gala marks a legacy of growth and impact.
(Courtesy of One Israel Fund) For three decades, One Israel Fund has remained steadfast in its mission: strengthening and uplifting the lives of over 500,000 residents in Yehuda and Shomron. As the premier organization dedicated to these regions and Israel’s vulnerable southern and northern borders, One Israel Fund focuses on what matters most: ensuring safety, enhancing quality of life and fostering thriving communities.
Since its founding in 1994, One Israel Fund has been a lifeline for the biblical heartland of Israel, providing essential support in areas where resources are scarce. From cutting-edge preventive security systems for civilian first responders and medical facilities to educational programs and scholarships, recreational equipment and communal infrastructure, the organization bridges critical gaps left unmet by other services and charitable initiatives for the country.
A Legacy of Impact
To date, One Israel Fund has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in initiatives that secure, strengthen and sustain the communities of Yehuda and Shomron. By addressing unique challenges, these projects ensure that these regions continue to flourish, preserving their vital role in Israel’s story. Over the past year alone, One Israel Fund has fulfilled over 500 unique projects due to the generosity of its friends and supporters.
