UNITED JEWISH ISRAEL APPEAL 

Our main objectives are to invest in young people and education in Israel and the UK Jewish Community, and the connection between the two communities. We do this by raising funds and spending them as grants or direct intervention in projects focused on youth and education in the UK Jewish community and in Israel, primarily in the Galil region in the North of the country.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • There is a pension deficit of £307,000
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 27 years
