Deadline: 1-Sep-23
Non-profit organizations are invited to apply for funding from Levi Lassen Foundation.
The Levi Lassen Foundation focuses on supporting NGOs that advance Ethiopian-Israeli women and men (ages 15-30), or specific projects that advance Ethiopian women and men (ages 15-30).
Grant Award Categories
- Ethiopian-Israeli women and men (ages 15 to 30): The applicant must be committed to advancing this cause.
- Dutch- Affiliated organizations in Israel. Especially those that provide support for elderly immigrants from Holland, such as nursing homes.
Funding Information
- NGOs may apply for up to 15,000 Euro’s a year and may be given a grant for a period of one year. Grantees may apply for a renewal grant (subject to submitting an evaluation report which has to be approved by the foundation).
Eligible Projects
- The Levi Lassen Foundation supports organizations or projects that educate, provide training, support, provide life skills, help integrate in society and/or empower young Ethiopian-Israeli women and men (ages 15-30).
- The project must have at least some synergies with the overall vision and mission of the NGO.
- The project (not necessarily the NGO) must be of a grassroots nature, so also small innovative projects of a large NGO will be considered.
- The project must have a down to earth impact and, at least on the face of it, make a difference.
Eligibility Criteria
- Organizations officially registered as non-profits in Israel (amutot, community interest companies, and charities) with valid authorization of non-profit status (rishumamuta), proper management certificate (nihul takin) (unless the organization exists for only a short time) and valid certification from tax and VAT authorities (Ishurnihulsfarimvenikuy mas). Start-up NGOs do not need a nihul takin.
- The age of the amuta is not relevant but preference will be given to those amutot that have already proven successful in their work.
- Projects must be carried out in Israel, excluding occupied territories.
