The United Palestinian Appeal (UPA) is seeking applications for its Children’s Fund Grants to support projects that serve orphaned, disabled, and impoverished Palestinian children living in the West Bank (including East Jerusalem), the Gaza Strip and refugee camps in Lebanon and Jordan.
The goal of the Children’s Fund is to contribute to a nurturing and stimulating holistic educational environment that allows children to realize their full potential.
UPA was established in 1978 in New York State by Palestinian-Americans from the business and professional communities who shared a vision of an efficient and professionally managed charity that would assist needy Palestinians and contribute to socioeconomic and cultural development in Palestine.
