Israel

Prompted by its desire to make a lasting contribution to social improvement, Stichting Levi Lassen (the foundation) provides financial support to institutions that serve the common good. The foundation follows a purposeful and deliberate grant making policy. Our focus is Sustainable Entrepreneurial Grassroots Social Change in the Social Periphery.

The foundation aims to serve the public interest by financing initiatives designed to bring about lasting improvements to society. By virtue of the foundation’s mandate, two-thirds or more of the foundation’s funding budget are to go to Jewish organisations.

In Israel the primary beneficiaries are non-profit organisations which are dedicated to bringing about projects in the field of social and economic justice. The interest areas are (economic) empowerment, human rights, environmental justice, leadership development, pluralism and Jewish-Arab coexistence. The target populations are women, minorities, youth and elderly Dutch Jews living in Israel. The target areas are Jerusalem, Galil, the Negev and social periphery.
