IPMN Grants for 2020 – 2021
The Israel Palestine Mission Network (IPMN) makes biennial grants to organizations/agencies that address human needs or economic development in Palestine, or provide education towards an understanding of Middle East history and present conflicts and challenges. This grant period, we were able to give grants to projects based in Palestine and Israel, as well as projects based in the U.S. Our grants totaled $38,500 for this award period.
Thank you to our membership who donate for making this work possible!
Most sincerely and enthusiastically,
