How is NIF governed, and how does its grant-making process work?
NIF is governed by an international Board of Directors that includes Israelis, North Americans and Europeans who represent different points of view within our common values. The New Israel Fund CEO, development, communications and financial management functions are located in various offices in the U.S. The Executive Director in Israel manages NIF-Israel, which includes grants, program and administrative staff as well as SHATIL, NIF’s action arm, which provides capacity-building and training programs from five offices around Israel. The New Israel Fund of Canada, the New Israel Fund-UK and New Israel Fund-Switzerland also contribute financial and volunteer support to the NIF family of organizations. The grant-making process begins in Israel where our office accepts applications that are reviewed by staff, then by the relevant Grants sub-Committees. These and other Board Committees are composed of members of the Board, members of an International Advisory Committee, and other non-Board
