Services

For Israeli NGOs, ISI offers the following services:

1. Level 1: Grant Search
. An extensive search of our comprehensive database to find new funding sources according to your program area. ISI's database has the contact details of over 4,500 foundations (Jewish and non-Jewish) that have made allocations to Israeli NGO's over the last 7 years.

2. Level 2: Investigation. ISI can do an in-depth investigation of the foundations discovered during the Grant Search and determine together with you the priority and suitability of approaching these foundations.

3. Level 3: Representation.
ISI can prepare Letters of Inquiry, Grant Proposals, and various Interim and Final Reports to go out to Foundations.

4. ISI Media / PR Services
: ISI has a Jewish Media Database with contact details of over 200 Jewish media sources in USA, UK and Canada. If you want to send out stories, articles, information about the work you are doing - this is the resource for you.

5. NGO Training: Many Israel NGO's are not aware of donor requirements for transparency and accountability. ISI can work with local NGO's on raising awareness of these requirements and building a plan for their implementation.

6. Other services: ISI has a wealth of experience in issues such as developing a fundraising strategy, utilizing latest internet techniques (Facebook Business etc) for obtaining wider exposure among funding bodies. Contact us and let's have a discussion about your needs.




For Overseas Donors/ Foundations, ISI can help you with the following:

1. Concept:
Help you determine where investment is most needed in accordance with your objectives and criteria

2. Proof of Concept: By undertaking a feasibility study ISI will provide you with an evidence base of the requirements, costs, timetable and roles for each partner organisation in order for your chosen project to become successful.

3. Build Solution: During this stage ISI will provide you with regular reports on progress recommending practical actions to ensure the project stays on track.

4. Implement Solution: Through regular monitoring of the project's progress including site visits and meetings with the key players on the ground in Israel (or abroad) ISI will provide a "readiness check" before the project goes live.

5. Realise Benefits: From a qualitative and quantitative evaluation of your project and the benefits that have been realised, you will have evidence of the impact of donor investment as well as suggested improvements for future projects.

6. Your representative on the ground: Let us take the worry off your mind and represent you on the ground with your project. We will provide regular updates at agreed intervals and give written reports to meet your needs.
