A full analysis of all of the grants reported annually by 39 Israeli NGOs in the years 2012-2016.
B’Tselem’s report “Minors in Jeopardy,” was funded by UNICEF and echoes the claims of Defense for Children International – Palestine, UNICEF, Military Court Watch, and its own 2012 and 2015 reports on the subject.

NGOs active in the Arab-Israeli conflict are at the center of intense partisan controversies in Israel, with the issue of funding featuring prominently in the debate.

This database displays all the grants that were reported annually by 27 Israeli NGOs in the years 2012-2014, and sorts the information according to donor type (private, government and unclear), while also identifying funding originating from church groups.
European governments should make their donations to Israeli NGOs transparent, avoiding the need for Israeli legislation requiring such from these groups.
