STATEMENT 16

NEW ISRAEL FUND EXPLANATION OF GRANTIVIAKING PROCESS

An applicant for a grant must be registered as a non-profit organization in Israel. Grants are awarded only to organizations whose primary activity takes place within the State of Israel . Grants will be awarded to organizations whose primary activity falls into one of the following areas:

Broad Issue Areas " Civil and human rights " Social and economic gaps " Religious pluralism and tolerance

Issues and Populations within the Broad Issue Areas Palestinian-Israeli Community Promoting the Status of Women

" Jewish-Arab Coexistence Government Accountability

An applicant for a grant cannot be controlled by a political party. An applicant cannot have influencing legislation as a primary aim. There is a strong preference against funding research, periodicals, university-sponsored programs, and programs sponsored by municipal or national authorities, including schools and community centers. An applicant's program must be designed to have an impact that extends beyond individuals to affect a broad, social level. Priority is given to organizations that exemplify the spirit of self-help, volunteerism, and empowerment.

Applicants include a broad array of organizations, ranging from small cadres of individuals with a good idea who need seed money to implement their plan, to established national organizations addressing problems requiring NIF support.

Several hundred applications reach NIF each year at the initiative of the applicant, while others are solicited by NIF.

outside experts, where relevant . Each Grants Committee member is responsible for investigating severs.( applicants in depth, ensuring that each organization is reviewed .

All of this information and analysis is collected for a "docket" book, which describes each applicant, details its current and future programs, provides summary financial information, and assesses the considerations for and against funding. The dockets are considered by the+ Grants Committee, which scrutinizes each applicant and assesses the potential impact of each project. The Grants Committee makes a final recommendation for funding. This docket,' along with the rationale for the Committee recommendation, is forwarded to the NIF Board for review and final action . There are generally two grants cycles each year, corresponding to the two international Board meetings .

Accountability is equally important after the grant is awarded. Every grantee signs a grant agreement that specifies the purpose for which funds may be used, financial management and reporting requirements, and any limitations on the use of funds. In addition to funding, MF grantees are ensured priority assistance from SHATIL, NIF's Empowerment and Training Center for Social Change Organizations . There is also ongoing contact with MF grant staff. NIF disburses its grants in two or four equal payments (depending on the size of the grant), and grantees must submit progress reports before payments are made. NIF staff members review these reports and make periodic site visits to ensure programmatic and fiscal accountability.
