Inormation about the P.E.F.

PEF was established in 1922 by Justice Brandeis, Rabbi Stephen Wise, Robert Szold and a group of distinguished Americans to enable the direct distribution of funds to selected and approved charitable organizations in Israel. No administrative deduction is made from contributions. Overhead is approximately 2% of grants, and is met by an administrative charge on endowed funds and special contributions for that purpose. No fund-raising organization is maintained or engaged.
PEF is a tax exempt "public charity," not a private foundation.

All contributions must be in US dollars made payable to PEF Israel Endowment Funds, Inc. and may carry a recommendation for the use of the funds. Mininum contribution is $25.
