A philanthropic partnership with i4Galil is a partnership in a growing, thriving Galilee. Your support helps people build their future here, helps technology companies start and grow here, and helps industry grow stronger.
Long before a venture is ready for investors, and before training turns into a job, someone has to connect, guide, and train. That is where philanthropic support comes in. Donors and foundations who support this work are partners in the Galilee’s growth from the very first stage.
Support from foundations and donors goes into the work itself. It makes it possible to identify needs in industry and research, to connect entrepreneurs, manufacturers, and people from academia, to guide ventures in their earliest days, and to prepare people for the world of AI.
NorthStar Women in Deep-Tech opens a path into technology roles in deep-tech companies for women in the North who hold advanced degrees. It pairs the knowledge and experience they already have with today’s AI tools, and supports them with a community of women, mentors, and hands-on experience inside the industry.
Donors and foundations who support the program are partners in every part of it, from the training and mentoring to the community around it.
Education and training are how people from the Galilee reach high-quality jobs, in industry and in the companies growing here. NorthStar Women is our first program in this area, and we want to develop more programs alongside it, spanning academia and industry. We would be glad to explore them together with foundations and donors who care about this field.
Many ventures begin with an idea in search of a market. Venture Creation, a program we advance together with the technology incubator i4Valley, starts from the other end. It finds a real need in industry, brings entrepreneurs to it, and works alongside them as they build the venture.
A donation to i4Galil is philanthropic support for the organization’s work. It confers no shares, ownership, rights in ventures, or financial return.
We work alongside entrepreneurs and ventures up to the seed stage. A venture that progresses from there continues to grow in the Galilee, and may receive a grant or a commercial investment from an outside party, by that party’s own decision and separately from any donation.
If you are a philanthropic foundation, a family foundation, or an individual donor who wants to be a partner in a growing, thriving Galilee, we would be glad to meet, tell you about our work, and answer any questions.
