Through educational events, humanitarian support, and cultural preservation, the Jerusalem Fund is helping build the movement for Palestinian liberation.
Education
The Palestine Center comprises our educational programs. They give voice to the Palestinian narrative through policy briefings, lecture series, conferences, symposia, scholarly research publications and an extensive research library. The Palestine Center’s analysis emphasizes a Palestinian perspective on the peace process, the Right of Return and final status negotiations, elections, international law, media coverage of Israel and Palestine and U.S. foreign policy in the region.
Community Development
The Humanitarian Link program extends grants to hospitals, orphanages, clinics, schools, universities and civil society organizations in the Occupied Territory and surrounding refugee camps in an effort to sustain the basic conditions of life in Palestine and to overcome the burdens of occupation.
Since 1979, the program has extended grants to hospitals, orphanages, clinics, schools, universities and civil society organizations. Our grantees work sustain the basic conditions of life in Palestine and to overcome the burdens of occupation.
In addition to regular grant making throughout the year, the Humanitarian Link program supports its special project, the Palestine Diabetes Institute. Its medical facilities in Al-Bireh and Nablus, Palestine, works to combat the epidemic of diabetes among Palestinians.
Culture
Gallery Al-Quds, the cultural program of the Jerusalem Fund, showcases the rich culture and national heritage of the Palestinian people, as well as that of surrounding Arab societies. The Gallery hosts bi-monthly exhibits of fine art and/or photography, an annual juried art competition, a summer film screening series, evening musical performances, art workshops and an annual souk and olive harvest celebration.
