| Why A Foundation? |
 Habonim Dror Foundation was founded in 1994 to support the work of Habonim Dror North America, the Labor Zionist youth movement. We are movement graduates and friends who believe in the mission of Habonim Dror. Despite the years that have past since the establishment of the movement over 65 years ago, the message and activity are still meaningful and relevant. It is very encouraging to us that the camps, kinim (city groups) and Israel programs are thriving and need our support to reach their potential. As in the past, some movement graduates go off to realize their dreams in Israel while others become active in the American Jewish community as lay leaders and professionals.
While movement activity is strong, historic funding sources have dried up. The movement now relies on financial contributions to the Foundation to support and expand Habonim Dror’s work. This funding includes regular allocations, scholarship funds and emergency grants for special projects. The Foundation has established an endowment fund in order to accept larger gifts to secure Habonim Dror’s future.
In addition to financial contributions, the Foundation supplies organizational and moral support to the movement. The Foundation publishes a quarterly print newsletter, CHADASHOT, facilitates a listserv called HABONET and provides a meeting place for Habonim Dror graduates and friends. Please consider MAKING A CONTRIBUTION to the Foundation.
B'shalom,
Kenneth Bob
