Detroiters Contribute
Detroit has 150 active donors who gave $70,000 of the $18 million
raised internationally last year by the New Israel Fund. There are 21,000
donors worldwide.
The Fund supports activities and organizations in Israel that protect
civil and human rights, promote Jewish-Arab equality and coexistence,
foster tolerance and religious pluralism, advance the status of women,
bridge social and economic gaps, aid citizen environmental efforts and
boost government accountability.
