The Negev Foundation — Securing Israel’s future through the Negev

The Negev Foundation is dedicated
to making Israel’s Negev region flourish by
developing its unique resources:

Agriculture

We are working to create a Negev region that can sustain itself,

all of Israel,

and arid regions worldwide.

The Negev Foundation welcomes you to join us in fulfilling the boundless promise of the Negev,

as foreseen by David Ben-Gurion, Israel’s first prime minister.

“The future of Israel lies in the Negev.”

Whether you are a donor or investor, opportunities abound;

We invite you to partner with us to develop
the Negev into a thriving region.

The Negev is experiencing a surge in new opportunities, particularly in technology and innovation, with initiatives focused on attracting talent and investment to the region. These efforts aim to bolster the local economy, create high-tech jobs, and address challenges related to climate and desert environments.

Since 1992, The Negev Foundation has invested in Israel’s largest land mass by supporting innovative agriculture, research and development, education, and projects that help desert communities thrive.

We are inspired by David Ben-Gurion’s belief that Israel’s future lies here in the Negev. Our work focuses on long-term resilience and growth.
