FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES

Gift It Your Way

Birthright Israel Foundation provides the following designated funding opportunities for donors to connect with our work on a more personal level. Supporters are invited to designate gifts to the annual campaign in increments of $60,000 or consider a Planned Gift through Foundation Futures for these projects.

It is our belief that all eligible young adults should be able to visit Israel to experience their birthright and we are pleased to offer approximately ten Accessibility/Special Needs trips annually for participants with a variety of developmental and physical disabilities.

Birthright Israel Academic

Birthright Israel Academic is a new 13-day trip model, leveraging the impact of a traditional Birthright Israel trip with three academic credits from an Israeli university.

Birthright Israel has created an enriched module that aims to standardize and contextualize our educational approach to Geopolitics, including a two-hour presentation by an expert offering context and content, complemented by a two-hour experiential engagement session.

GLobal participants

Birthright Israel is committed to providing the gift to young Jews from around the world, such as from Brazil, France, and the Ukraine, to empower these young adults to forge personal relationships with Israel, the Jewish people, and their own Jewish identity.

Mifgash (Encounter)

The Mifgash is a unique element of the Birthright Israel experience in which Diaspora and Israeli participants spend quality time together as peers.
