The JerusalemFoundation
Jerusalem is a city that is revered and cherishedaround the world and is also the heart and soul ofthe Jewish people - the eternal capital. The JerusalemFoundation, understanding the universality ofJerusalem and its importance as the focal pointfor people around the world, is at the forefront ofefforts to ensure that Jerusalem will remain anopen, tolerant and vibrant city while also respondingto the needs of all its residents.
Jerusalem is the largest city in Israel, with 763,000residents with complex and varied needs. It is alsothe youngest city in Israel, children and youthmake up more than half of the population, 55%of these children live under the poverty line.Jerusalem also suffers from negative migration,47% of those who leave Jerusalem are Jewishyoung adults, between the ages of 24-35 and overthe last five years over 80,000 people have leftJerusalem.
In Jerusalem, a disproportionate number of peopleface daily socio-economic challenges. Jerusalemis the seat of government, academia and religionbut has a weak industrial base and it has been mostdifficult for the municipality to respond to themyriad needs while confronting a small andshrinking tax base. Over the years, the JerusalemFoundation has made the difference.
All of the citizens of Jerusalem benefit on a dailybasis from the efforts of the Jerusalem Foundation.Jerusalem would be unrecognizable without the
Jerusalem Foundation – without its communitycenters, sports complexes, parks, children’splaygrounds, libraries, theaters, museums, artschools and central science labs, with fewerdaycare centers and homes for the elderly, withpoorer school facilities and less educationalopportunities. Jerusalemites living on the peripheryand those most in need of a helping hand arestrengthened by the daily intervention of programssupported by the Jerusalem Foundation.
The Jerusalem Foundation has pioneered muchof the archaeological discovery and preservationprojects including the City of David excavations,the major gates of the Old City Walls, the Towerof David Museum and much more.
Someone, somewhere, benefits from a JerusalemFoundation project every minute of every dayand every night. The Foundation’s work benefitsevery population – Jewish, Muslim and Christian- every social group of every age, in everyneighborhood of the city.
Founded over 40 years ago by the legendaryMayor of Jerusalem, Teddy Kollek, the JerusalemFoundation has an unmatched track record increating and nurturing philanthropic projects inJerusalem, creating a better quality of life for allresidents. The Jerusalem Foundation links theinternational community to the city and togetherwe aspire to make Jerusalem an inspiring capital,modern center and global city.

Creating a unique city that preserveshistoric elements while inspiring avibrant, cultural and modern landscape.
U R EC ulture bridges fragmented sectors of the population.With culture comes a sense of normalcy within our troubled region, an improvement in quality oflife, an increase in tourism and a boost to the economy.
The Jerusalem Foundation has been fostering culture in the city for decades. Responding to theever changing demographic and economic needs, the Jerusalem Foundation leads the way inhelping the city reach its cultural potential. The results will bring economic vitality, and moreimportantly, a cultural home for the city's creative and artistic community.
In 2009, we began creating a critical mass of culture by focusing on a number of objectives: enrichingthe cultural landscape, integrating culture in the fabric of the community, reframing the image ofthe city as a dynamic place, and leveraging Jerusalem's existing high profile cultural events tocreate spin-off programs in all parts of the city.
To further this vision, the Jerusalem Foundation developed a comprehensive plan that identifiesthe city’s cultural needs and has designed a unique approach to bring positive change, quicklyand effectively. The plan includes funding for programs that empower artists, expands audiences,contributes to the youthful, dynamic and economic health of the city, advances education in thearts, and enriches the community.
In keeping with our cultural vision, this year we focused on specific cultural-artistic fields includingmusical groups, visual art, dance, cultural infrastructure and special events, particularly in the center
of town, the beating heart of cultural activity.
Several special series have been initiated in orderto create new platforms for artists to showcasetheir creative talents. Among them are the highlysuccessful "Something Different," "Two in theAfternoon," "Dance at Large," and more.

Additionally, we continued to foster unique special events that offer a wide array of high qualitycultural fare to varied audiences.
One Square Meter – Poetry Festival, is one such example.Now in its second year, some 5,000 people turned out totake part in this unique three day event, staged in the centerof town. During the festival, poetry events were held inthe City Center neighborhoods of Mahane Yehuda, Nachlaotand Musrara. It is a stage open to all, Jewish and Arabpoets together, raising awareness for quality poetry.
Manofim, the city wide gallery opening season, embodiesour cultural mission. Over the course of a number of weeks, over 40 galleries and alternativespaces presented the works of more than 200 artists. More than 8,000 people country wide attendedthe event in 2009. The event has rapidly become a prestigious annual event showcasing contemporaryart all over the city, highlighting the exciting and meaningful world of art to all.
The Mahol Shalem Festival is an annual celebration of contemporary Israeli and international dance.It has received international acclaim, presents a collection of fresh, cutting edge dance works bytalented local and international choreographers. More than 3,000 people participated in the three
day festival last year. The Shalem Dance Group practices right in the center of town, atthe Morasha Community Center, and is committed to remaining in Jerusalem.
Manofim, One Square Meter Poetry Festival, and the Mahol ShalemFestival are only a small slice of Jerusalem’s cultural scene. TheJerusalem Foundation continues its support of the International ChamberMusic Festival, the Oud Festival, various avant-garde repetoire groups,
museums, and arts education facilities. Individually and collectively,they represent the Jerusalem Foundation’s dedication to makingart and culture accessible to all without compromise, creating aunique city that preserves historic elements and inspires a vibrantcultural, modern city.

Playing together and learning togetherare the building blocks of tolerance,acceptance and peaceful coexistence
T E N C EA stable future for all Jerusalem’s residents begins with sharing the citypeacefully. Coexistence in a multiethnic city poses many daunting challenges, but everyday,the Jerusalem Foundation makes an effort to strengthen mutual understanding.
Coexistence projects address the difficult task of creating a new reality for a city, where the secular,the ultra-orthodox, the Arab and the Jew, begin the challenging process of inhabiting the samecity.
The demographic reality of Jerusalem cannot be ignored, but the Jerusalem Foundation is committedto promoting tolerance, acceptance and growth among all of Jerusalem’s residents.
The building blocks of coexistence include creation, expansion and sharing of public spaces, equalaccess to services for all residents, joint education, teaching tolerance, and participation in jointcultural programs.
When it comes to creating and sharing public spaces, the Jerusalem Foundation continues itslongstanding support of the Alpert Music Center, where Arabs and Jews play music together, andthe Cinematheque, where the I Am You Are program joins Jews and Arabs in filmmaking.The Bloomfield Science Center, Ein Yael, and Djanogly Visual Arts Centerare forums where Jewish and Arab children can share common interestsin science, nature, and art, and the Max Rayne Handin Hand School for Bilingual Education, continues toprosper and will graduate a senior class in 2011.
Promoting tolerance starts with leveling the playingfield by providing equal access to services for all ofJerusalem’s residents, Arab and Jew alike.

In 2009, the Muslim Quarter of the Old City was included in neighborhood empowerment programsin order to extend community activities, educational opportunities, and social services to the MuslimQuarter.
The local community center known as the Spafford Annex is home to educational andrecreational programs, which have made a direct improvement in scholastic achievements,the development of community leadership, strengthening of family health and parentalguidance programs, an increase in sports, and recreational programs offered toresidents. Participation has skyrocketed since this intensive involvement began –in two years, the number of residents participating in various programs increasedsevenfold.
Living together also means learning together. June 2009 marked the first time in Israel’shistory where a high school class of Arabs and Jews completed a civics course together.The course spanned a three year period, and took place during tense times, duringthe Second Lebanese War in 2006 and Operation Cast Lead in January 2009. Theprogram called Living in Jerusalem hosted twenty three students for three years; theywere educated as one, took courses in civics, citizenship, government, democraticvalues, and political theory, and were taught by both Arabs and Jews. While therewere admittedly some tense moments, this program epitomizes coexistence. The co-educational experience exposed students to a level of tolerance not previously enjoyed,something they will carry with them for a lifetime.
Tolerance extends to the arts as well. For the sixth year, the Jerusalem Foundation, in partnershipwith the Jerusalem Intercultural Center and an anonymous donor, hosted the Speaking Art Conference.The conference unites musical, theatrical and dance performers, Arab, Israeli, Jew, Christian andMoslem alike, for two days of fruitful dialogue, cooperation and joint learning. This year, for thefirst time, they came not only from all over Israel, but also from the West Bank, Hebron and Nablus.Workshops in music, theater, dance and movement were held, centered on the recurring themeof the “art of listening,” a critical component for successfulcoexistence.
Understanding, leveling the playing field, learning together,and sharing spaces are the building blocks of tolerance,acceptance and ultimately peaceful coexistence.

Community-based programs arethe heart and soul of theJerusalem Foundation's work
N I T YA fter decades of assistance to the various communities in Jerusalem, the JerusalemFoundation understands the importance of cooperative efforts when empowering a community.
Whether it involves economic vitality projects, educational effortsthrough libraries and school renovations, special needs programs,community centers serving the elderly, or opening a park, empowermentis most successful when it involves grass roots efforts to improvethe lives of all citizens.
All community-based projects take into account both the multiculturalaspects of the population involved and the multiethnic issuesthat make Jerusalem unique. The needs of all residents areconsidered in order to improve the quality of life for all.
The Adopt A Neighborhood program is representative of ourcomprehensive approach to community empowerment. We employa strategic and targeted approach to determine which Jerusalemneighborhood is in the greatest need of assistance.Once a neighborhood is selected, acomprehensive evaluation process beginswith local officials to assess the needsof the residents. To this end, theJerusalem Foundat ion works inpartnership with the Association ofCommunity Centers, the JerusalemMunicipality and all organizationsengaged in the community.

neighborhood empowerment projects, educationalprograms, improvement of infrastructure,music and art performances, and coexistenceprojects for multiethnic tolerance amongresidents, the Adopt A Neighborhood programembodies the heart and soul of the Foundation’swork.
As each community population is unique, the needs of each arearadically differ. Strategic plans are developed to sustain the community’sfuture, and projects are designed to have the greatest impact onresidents. The needs of one neighborhood, for instance, might beinfrastructure projects for schools or libraries, but are not the needsof another where school programming or supplies are desired.Every community is different.
Once ‘adopted,’ the community is part of the JerusalemFoundation family, a bond that continues for a five yearperiod. The strategic plan for each community undergoesreview and revision, projects are constantly evaluated fortheir impact, and course corrections are embraced if needed.Most importantly, due to the strategic partnerships developedduring the 5 year period, the Foundation creates an environmentwhere progress in the neighborhood is self-sustaining for the future.
