KKL-JNF: Putting the "Home" in Homeland
Since 1901, Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael-Jewish National Fund (KKL-JNF) has been the heartbeat of the Jewish people, building and shaping our homeland – from forests to communities.
Today, as Israel faces unpredictable challenges, KKL-JNF continues to answer the call. Our mission is one of preservation, renewal, and protection: we plant and preserve our forests, support vulnerable populations, protect wildlife, advance environmental research, provide educational programs, and mobilize instantly in times of emergency.
Vigilance in Crisis and War
When missiles rain down on cities and communities across Israel, and when the need is great and times are uncertain, KKL-JNF is ready to face the challenges head-on. Our emergency response includes supporting displaced families, funding community restoration projects, collaborating with emergency response organizations (like United Hatzalah), and allocating essential funds for long-term recovery initiatives to ensure our communities can thrive once again. We alsp remain dedicated to saving wildlife under fire, combating wildfires, and rehabilitating forets damaged in the conflit.
Rising Stronger After October 7
In the wake of October 7, our mission has taken on urgent new importance. Recovery is a journey that requires both dedication and action. Whether we are rebuilding devastated communities or providing educational relief, we are ensuring a future rooted in hope.
Stand with Israel today. Your support ensures we can continue our work, strengthen communities, and help our homeland rise stronger and more resilient than ever before.
