- High quality educational opportunities

PROGRAM
Israel
Moriah’s Israel program places an emphasis on strengthening democracy and supporting the development of Israeli organizations that promote:
- Social justice and democracy
- Civil rights
- Educational and economic opportunities for the disadvantaged
What we’re working on
Moriah currently is focused on programs that support democratic ideals, build organizational and leadership capacity in the Ethiopian community and advocate for equitable treatment of Arab citizens.
PROGRAM
Human Rights
The Moriah Fund has a strong commitment to human rights and funds a variety of human rights efforts throughout its program areas. For example, within the Israel program, we place an emphasis on the rights of Arab and Ethiopian citizens of Israel, and in the Women’s Rights and Reproductive Health program, we devote a portion of our grantmaking to organizations that integrate human rights strategies and mechanisms into efforts to promote women’s rights.
In addition, we make a small number of grants to support other human rights programs. Our major focus here is our support for the Fund for Global Human Rights, which is raising and directing funds to frontline, in-country human rights activists worldwide.
PROGRAM
Women’s Rights & Reproductive Health
Moriah supports programs dedicated to promoting women’s and girls’ access to quality health care and reproductive services. In times when these basic rights are increasingly under attack here in the United States, advocacy and policy work is particularly critical. Our support includes funding programs working to ensure:
- Access to quality care for women and girls
- Women’s rights remain human rights
- Legislative and judicial initiatives do not turn the clock back to a time before Roe v. Wade
Our Grants
Our grants help to promote democratic principles, support high-quality education and promote human rights for all.
