Summing Up 2023: 148 Million shekels raised for over 100 different projects in Jerusalem
The Jerusalem Foundation finished 2023 with a significant increase in fundraising for the benefit of every population in Jerusalem. Additionally, the Jerusalem Foundation’s Emergency Fund, created in response to the war, has already benefited more than 250 thousand people.
With the outbreak of the war on Oct. 7, the Jerusalem Foundation established the emergency fund to help the most vulnerable populations affected by the tragic events that occurred on and after October 7. The emergency fund helps the residents of Jerusalem in need, the families of the fallen and the injured, essential workers needing support and of course, evacuees from the south and the north who found refuge in the city. The Jerusalem Foundation strengthened our connections with about 100 cultural and community institutions from all over the city allowing us to reach tens of thousands of people, including 35,000 evacuees staying in the city’s hotels.
