The Resilience Centre in Jerusalem
The Jerusalem Foundation
The Jerusalem Foundation has worked in this time of crisis for the state of Israel to provide immediate assistance to all the vulnerable populations in Jerusalem. With the help of the Foundation’s friends from all over the world, we established an emergency fund to support evacuees from the south staying in the city and the residents of Jerusalem in need.
We are strengthening the community and civil society organization in the city that are vital to the resilience of the residents of Jerusalem.
Thank you for your support, now and always.
