Jewish National Fund-USA’s Boruchin Center now accepting Letters of Inquiry

Jewish National Fund-USA’s Boruchin Center continues to deepen the connection between all Americans and the land and people of Israel.

Jewish National Fund-USA’s Boruchin Center is now accepting Letters of Inquiry regarding its 2023-24 grant funding period. The Center is committed to strengthening the lifelong connection between all Americans – especially Jewish American teens – with the land and people of Israel. Accordingly, programs that foster these connections will be considered.

Unlike a traditional foundation, the Boruchin Center is creating synergies with its grantees in ways that meaningfully accelerate both their own programs and Jewish National Fund-USA’s overarching mission.

Applicants seeking funding are invited to submit a Letter of Interest describing their organization and how they wish to collaborate with the Boruchin Center and its mission.

Grantee Criteria:

  • $100,000 minimum grant request from JNF Boruchin Center.
  • Grantees must also raise matching funds (for a minimum $200,000 budgetary need)
  • Current 501c3 status required

All Boruchin Center grants last for a period of one year.

Letters of Inquiry are due by February 15, 2023. For more information and to access the submission portal, visit jnf.org/Boruchin or contact Rachel Adams at radams@jnf.org or 212.879.9305 x249.

About & contact the publisher
Jewish National Fund-USA builds a strong, vibrant future for the land and people of Israel through bold initiatives and Zionist education. As a leading philanthropic movement, the organization supports critical environmental and nation-building activities in Israel’s north and south as it develops new communities in the Negev and Galilee, connects the next generation to Israel, and creates infrastructure and programs that support ecology, people with disabilities, and heritage site preservation, all while running a fully accredited study abroad experience through its Alexander Muss High School in Israel.
The Israeli prime minister vowed to “safeguard our vital interests under all circumstances.”
The then 28-year-old screamed antisemitic things at a group of Jews and assaulted an Israeli in October 2023, the Manhattan district attorney’s office said at the time.
The U.S. secretary of education said that “the campus has been in the spotlight for tolerating egregious antisemitic harassment for years now.”
The Trump administration’s “trade over aid” approach is necessary to root out inefficiencies and waste at the United Nations and elsewhere, the U.S. envoy to the global body said.
The group reportedly stayed at hotel properties that the U.S. State Department has designated as “prohibited accomodations.”
The new office will focus on current and future threats in “cyberspace, outer space, and critical infrastructure,” according to the State Department.
