Strengthening Israel Together

Jerusalem is not just a city — it is a living symbol of history, faith, and unity. It is the spiritual heart of the Jewish people, a city that connects us to our past and future as a nation and a homeland. From the earliest days of the Zionist movement, KKL-JNF has been a vital part of Jerusalem’s story — building, protecting, and nurturing the city through every challenge and triumph. For over 120 years, KKL-JNF has worked tirelessly to support Jerusalem’s growth, creating an unshakable and everlasting bond.
Together with friends and supporters from around the world, KKL-JNF has been able to accomplish so much — ensuring quality of life, preserving heritage, protecting nature, and securing a brighter future for the city and its people.
Our Impact Across Jerusalem
- We’ve planted and cultivated green lungs — including the Jerusalem Forest, Jerusalem Metropolitan Park, Gazelle Valley, Peace Forest, Kiryat Yovel Park, The Botanical Gardens, and more — offering residents and visitors places to breathe, reflect, and connect with nature.
- We’ve invested in education — supporting youth organizations and movements, special education programs, and NGOs such as ALUT, Shalva, Alyn, AMIT, and WIZO. We also built and continue to operate the KKL-JNF Field and Forest Center in Nes Harim, in the Jerusalem Hills, where groups and visitors enjoy outdoor and environmental activities.
- We’ve partnered with hospitals and institutions — including Hadassah, Shaare Zedek, Herzog, Eitanim, and Hebrew University — to ensure access to green spaces and develop new facilities that benefit both patients and staff.
- We’ve helped preserve and support sites of deep cultural and historical significance — including the President’s House Gardens, Ammunition Hill Memorial, the Western Wall, Mount Herzl, Yad Vashem, the Biblical Zoo, and the Jerusalem Aquarium — all key locations that tell the story of Jerusalem’s reunification and its enduring resilience.
This Year, Jerusalem Day Means Even More
Since October 7th, Israel has faced some of its darkest days. Yet even in times of pain, Jerusalem stands as a symbol of strength, unity, and hope. The work of KKL-JNF in Jerusalem continues — and so does our unwavering commitment to ensuring the city remains a beacon of resilience for all.
As we mark Jerusalem Day, we invite you to be part of this ongoing journey — a journey of rebuilding, healing, and holding fast to the promise that Jerusalem represents.
Together, we can continue writing the next chapter in the story of our eternal capital.

About KKL-JNF
Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael–Jewish National Fund (KKL-JNF) has been developing the land of Israel and strengthening the bond between the Jewish people and its homeland since 1901. KKL-JNF continues to meet the State of Israel’s changing needs and, together with its friends worldwide, create a better Israel through projects in forestry, environment, combating desertification and climate change, community development, water management, ecotourism, agricultural R&D, education and more.
KKL-JNF is a public-benefit company devoted to the sustainable development of Israel. It was established in 1901 at the 5th World Zionist Congress in Basel, Switzerland, for the purpose of acquiring land for Jewish settlement in Eretz Yisrael (at that time Ottoman Empire). Embarking on what was possibly the world’s first global Jewish “crowdfunding” campaign, KKL-JNF went on to purchase and develop 2.6 million dunams (260,000 ha.) for Hebrew agriculture and community development. These efforts essentially laid the foundations for what would become the State of Israel.
Today, KKL-JNF is a national institution, with over 120 years of experience in nation building under its belt. It has chapters all around the country, and hundreds of employees and volunteers from all sectors of Israeli society. KKL-JNF also acts under government mandate as Israel’s Forest Service. In this capacity, it manages some 300,000 acres (120,000 ha) of planted forests, woodlands, and open spaces.
We draw on our strong working relationships with local and national authorities, developed over decades, to spearhead and implement game changing initiatives in KKL-JNF’s three main spheres of activity, as embodied by the 3 colors on our logo: Blue for water management and technologies; Green for forestry, ecology, and climate change mitigation; and Brown for the cultivation of the land and the people living upon it.
Three spheres, one overarching goal: developing Israel to be the best that it can be.
KKL-JNF’s impact is evident in the vibrant patchwork of blues, greens, and browns making up the modern Israeli landscape: the reservoirs and rehabilitated streams; the field centers and recreation areas nestled amidst verdant forests; the delicate filagree of cycling and hiking trails, the gleaming R&D centers and innovation incubators, the brightly colored club houses for youth, and so much more.
True to its origins as a builder of bridges between Israel and the wider world, KKL-JNF operates in more than 55 countries and works in cooperation with various governmental and non-governmental bodies to further common environmental interests, especially in connection to climate change.
