The Jerusalem Fund's Community Assistance Program (formerly the Emergency Relief Program) provides direct support for education, health care, and a variety of social service organizations in the West Bank and Gaza. This support is distributed via small grants to hospitals, clinics, schools orphanages, charitable societies, human rights groups, and other beneficiaries.

Funding for these grants is made possible by donations received from concerned individuals in the United States and abroad. The Community Assistance Program has received over 52,000 donations, exceeding $3.4 million, in support of its efforts.

Strict reporting requirements and regular visits by Jerusalem Fund staff ensure the proper distribution of funds and project monitoring. Grant guidelines and application forms may be downloaded from this site and may be submitted directly by mail to our offices in Washington, DC. The Board of Directors awards grants every three months.

We at The Jerusalem Fund have been able to provide crucial support with the assistance of our donors. Your great support is tremendously appreciated.
