  • Israel Partnership Programs

    Canadian communities invest financial and human resources in struggling and underdeveloped regions in Israel to generate waves of change based on shared ideas, challenges and models of success. Israeli and Canadian communities collaboratively address social issues with projects focused on youth, education, social welfare and capacity building.

Israel Partnership Programs and Investments are focused on:

  • Education

    Projects include post-secondary scholarships and early childhood centers, programs for gifted students and pupils that need extra attention.

  • Healthcare

    Canadian federations play a key role in the development of health services in Israel’s periphery. Investments include the expansion of Yoseftal hospital in Eilat and the establishment of Bar-Ilan University medical faculty in Safed.

  • Innovation

    Partnerships contribute significantly to innovative projects which support the economic and social advancement of the communities. Each project is a potential catalyst for change, like Israel’s pioneering renewable energy industry.
