NCJW does a lot of cutting-edge work in Israel and NCJW Palm Beach Supports the Israel Granting Program
Each year, NCJW Palm Beach gives a generous donation to the IGP (Israel Granting Program) sponsored by NCJW Inc. In so doing, we extend our reach into important issues facing women and families in Israel.
Some of this year's grantees were:
- NCJW Women and Gender Studies Program at Tel Aviv University
- Women Wage Peace - a volunteer NGO working toward ending the Israeli/Palestinian conflict
- Itach - Maaki - Women Lawyers for Social Justice
- Isha l'Isha - Haifa Feminist Center working with Women Without Status
- Israel Women's Network - Advancing Feminist Policy
- Mahapach - Taghir - Second Opportunity - Providing Higher Education for Marginalized Women
- Israel Hofsheet - Strengthening equal rights by promoting marriage alternatives
- Kayan - Women's Empowerment
- Jerusalem Open House - Supporting the LGBTQ community in Jerusalem
- Niroot Forum for Girls at Risk
- Our grants are focused on strengthening Israeli women and girls in the social, political, and economic realms.
- Our granting partners work on a variety of issues, including:
- improving the status of women in marriage and divorce given the lack of separation between state and religion;
- empowering/training women to run for office and seeking greater gender equality in gov’t;
- supporting young women “at-risk” with better empowerment tools and creating new models of helping these young women find employment; supporting both women leaders and grassroots efforts by women to work towards peaceful solutions to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict – and more!
