The Tel Aviv Foundation is a partnership between the Tel Aviv Municipality and donors from Israel and around the world working together to meet the evolving needs of the City of Tel Aviv-Yafo. The Foundation, chaired by Mayor Ron Huldai, was founded in 1977 and has established more than 800 projects and raised over $700 million worldwide. In doing so, the Foundation touches the lives of more than 500,000 people every year. Since its inception, the Foundation has generated momentum and proudly serves as a beacon of progress, elevating the City’s quality of life through education, the arts, sports, social services, the environment and innovative urban projects. All funds raised are designated for specific projects and augmented by the City’s unique matching funds program. This dollar-for- dollar partnership ensures accountability, promotes co-operation between donor and recipient and strengthens the bond between Israel and the Diaspora.
