The Galila Foundation’s flagship program – the ‘Galila Fellows’, is a joint venture between two independent organizations: Galila and the Beren Sea Foundations. This initiative is based on a longstanding partnership and shared vision that has evolved over the years between these two foundations and their founders. The ‘Galila Fellows’ is a social venture aimed at supporting, empowering and enhancing entrepreneurs and organizations whose initiatives are based in the Galilee region of northern Israel. The aim of the project is to enable the development and expansion of these change-agent initiatives, which are making a difference to various populations and groups living in the Galilee.
The initiative was launched in 2011, with the first group of social entrepreneurs working in the areas of education, sport, social welfare and community development. Since then, the foundation continues to review new initiatives, in line with the program goals and has invited new entrepreneurs to develop and expand their initiatives, supported by the ‘Galila Fellows’ program.
Galila invites any new social entrepreneur, developing his/her initiative in the Galilee region, to contact the foundation by email and present the vision and mission seeking support. Following our review, we will invite suitable applicants to join the ranks of fellow social entrepreneurs working in the Galilee and to become part of the ‘Galila Fellows’ program.
