JNF Future is the part of JNF that’s all about involving young professionals aged 21 to 35 with our projects in Israel. JNF Future runs a range of unique social fundraising events, including fabulous trips and holidays, themed parties, activity days and galas.
JNF Future is best known for its hugely successful annual trip to Eilat, held every December. Participants enjoy a packed, fun-filled itinerary and an excellent opportunity to make lifelong friends – all among the wonderful sights of Southern Israel.
These events are organised and implemented with the help of various JNF Future committees. The committees consist of volunteers, who are keen to lend a hand and offer their spare time. Regular meetings are held to generate ideas for new fundraising methods and of course to socialise and have a catch up!
The aim of JNF Future is to be known for holding fantastic functions while also supporting truly worthwhile causes. But even more importantly than raising money and support Israel in the here & now, we are here to secure benefactors for the future. JNF Future is looking to create a solid base of young donors who will safeguard the future of JNF charities for many years to come.

We and many others belive that it is only through taking these steps that the crisis in Darfur can be brought to an end.

Events and actions took place in more than 200 cities worldwide, uniting people around the world in calling for the international community to protect Darfur.
