Manof is a unique philanthropic partnership, comprising foundations from Israel and around the world, dedicated to strengthening local democracy and rebuilding the social and leadership landscape at the local level. Manof operates across six strategic core pillars with the potential for broad and profound impact: leadership, grassroots engagement, policy, resources, and local media. In each of these areas, Manof collaborates with both existing and new stakeholders to forge connections, enhance capabilities, and amplify impact within the local arena—which we view as a key to the future of Israeli society. Manof’s mission is to rebuild the social fabric within local government, leverage existing resources, and generate impact investments to increase the influence of civic forces on both the municipal and national levels.
