About the New Israel Fund:
The New Israel Fund (NIF) promotes democracy, equality, and justice in Israel. We help Israel live up to its founders' vision of a state that ensures complete equality of social and political rights to all its inhabitants. Our aim is to advance liberal democracy, including freedom of speech and minority rights, and to fight injustice and extremism that diminish Israel.

NIF promotes religious tolerance, and an Israel where every Jewish religious stream, along with secularism, is respected and receives equal state support. A longtime key partner in this work is the Israel Religious Action Center. Donations to IRAC can be made through the New Israel Fund.  One hundred percent of your tax deductible gift will go directly to IRAC.

About the Israel Religious Action Center of the Reform Movement (IRAC):
IRAC has been a leading player in all key religious freedom struggles, such as opposing the exclusion of women from the public sphere (on public transportation, religious and military ceremonies, and other public spaces), opposing offensive street signs, monitoring and reporting segregation, assisting the "Women of the Wall," and partnering with a variety of organizations to promote civil marriage. This year, more than ever, IRAC has worked tirelessly to combat religious and nationalist extremism, which is on the rise in Israel, to the detriment of democracy and the pursuit of peace.
