About The Israeli Foundation for Democracy

The Israeli Foundation for Democracy is a philanthropic and operational foundation that funds, supports, and connects initiatives to channel civic power and public-sector professionalism into structural reforms that strengthen the democratic "rules of the game" in Israel - on the ground, in policy, and through the training of change agents. We identify, support, and connect ventures and organizations - established and emerging - that operate on two complementary planes: bottom-up civic engagement, grassroots activity, and cultivation of change agents; and top-down policy, public awareness, knowledge infrastructure, and leadership. Connecting these planes creates coordination and synergy that translates civic energy into institutional change. We do not focus on symptoms, but on laying long-term foundations: clear rules of the game, decentralization of power, transparency and accountability, and mechanisms that enable citizens to influence public life on a daily basis.
