- FUNDING -

Initial support came from:

• The Negev Foundation
• The Embassy of Israeli in Washington, DC
• Ramat Negev (a regional Israeli government)

We subsequently received:

• USDA funding for Ohio calf exports to Israel
• $100,000 from Ohio’s FY’04 budget
• Through USDA, FY 2004 federal appropriation of $515K, through the support of Ohio Senator George Voinovich (of $641,000 requested)

We are now:

• Discussing FY 2005 and 2006 Ohio state funding
• Identifying additional potential government, foundation and corporate funding sources
• Contacting additional agriculture- and rural development-related foundations
