European Governments – Funding for Israeli NGOs

December 8, 2011

Hundreds of political NGOs receive funding from at least 20 different sources, each of which provides partial data in different formats and covering different time frames.

As a result, the dates, currencies, and another factors may not be uniform.

Data on funding for NGOs based in Israel was compiled from individual NGO reports filed with the Rasham Ha-Amutot (Israel’s Registry of Non-Profits), as well as partial information published by donors and NGO recipients.

In addition, some Israeli NGOs are incorporated as companies, and as such are not required to provide detailed reports on income sources. Information on NGOs based in the Palestinian Authority is from limited data available from some donors and NGO recipients. Therefore, this compilation is not complete.

The most recent and reliable donation is provided, where available.
