Funding strategy

Ways to fund the farm

Major donors & family foundations

Warm introductions through board members and existing partners (To Work and To Guard, Holy Land Herbs, Fruit Trees 4 Israel) are our fastest path to large checks. Tier ladder lives on the Investor packet.

  • •Jewish family foundations: Maimonides Fund, Russell Berrie, Schusterman, Paul E. Singer, Koret, Crown, Azrieli, Rashi
  • •US donor-advised funds via Fidelity Charitable, Schwab, Jewish Communal Fund — enabled by our 501(c)(3) partner
  • •Private site visits in Bat Shlomo and virtual briefings for partners abroad

Grants

Bat Shlomo's historic stone village is a strong heritage angle for Israeli ministries, while diaspora federations and trauma-focused funders match our soldier and survivor scholarship work.

  • •Israel: Ministry of Heritage, Ministry of Agriculture, KKL-JNF, Israel Heritage Council
  • •Diaspora: JNF-USA, JFNA, UJA Federation NY, Jewish Agency Partnership2Gether, One8
  • •Trauma & wellness: OneFamily, Natal, IDF welfare partners
  • •Land & sustainability: Hazon, Heschel Center, Leichtag Foundation
Self-sustaining

Earned revenue

Treatments, retreats, herbal apprenticeships, Shabbat hospitality, concert tickets, and a small herb & olive product line. The blended fee + philanthropy model is what makes the Year-3 ₪2.4M projection credible.

  • •Practitioner treatment rooms (per-session fees)
  • •Weekend retreats & six-month herbal cohorts
  • •Concerts, weddings, and gathering hospitality
  • •Heritage olive oil, herbal blends, ceremonial goods

Blended capital

Impact investing

For the revenue-generating parts of the build — treatment rooms and lodging — patient capital is often a better fit than grants.

  • •Israeli social-impact funds: Dualis, Social Finance Israel
  • •Low-interest restoration loans via the Israel Heritage Council
  • •Recoverable grants from family foundations open to blended structures
Community

Crowdfunding & matched campaigns

A 24-hour matched drive on Charidy or Israel Gives, anchored to a milestone, regularly raises ₪500k–₪2M for projects with a clear story.

  • •Tu B'Shvat tree-planting campaign with Fruit Trees 4 Israel
  • •Groundbreaking match for the treatment wing or olive pavilion
  • •Jgive year-end push for scholarships

Partnerships

Corporate & in-kind

Aligned brands sponsor concerts, retreats, and apprenticeships in exchange for visibility and team experiences on the land.

  • •Israeli wineries, olive producers, and wellness brands
  • •Pro-bono architecture, legal, and branding from firms with Israel CSR programs
  • •Hotel partners for overflow lodging during festivals
Naming

Legacy & naming gifts

Treatment rooms, garden terraces, the olive pavilion, and scholarship funds are all available for naming. Our tier structure is built around this — what's missing is a public one-pager.

  • •Treatment room (annual or in perpetuity)
  • •Garden terrace or fruit-tree grove
  • •Open-air olive pavilion
  • •Named scholarship (cohort, retreat, or apprenticeship)

Quick wins to set up next

Run a Tu B'Shvat match

Anchor a Charidy or Jgive 24-hour campaign to tree planting with Fruit Trees 4 Israel.

Film a 30-minute site visit

A walkthrough video for donors who can't fly in — the land does most of the persuading.

Build a grants calendar

Most Israeli foundations run fixed Q1 / Q3 cycles — a calendar turns this into a flow, not a scramble.

Open to introductions

If you know a foundation officer, family office, impact fund, or community campaign that fits the work, we'd love a warm introduction. Every conversation begins with your values and the change you want to see in Israel.
