United Jewish Israel Appeal (UJIA) is a UK-based Jewish philanthropy focused on strengthening young Jews’ connection to Israel while also supporting practical social change on the ground in Israel. Its visible funding vehicle, Si3, is an impact investment program rather than a traditional grantmaker, backing social businesses, NGOs, and social enterprises with repayable finance to help scale solutions in areas like urban regeneration, employment, and micro-finance. This suggests a preference for projects that combine Jewish/Israel engagement with measurable social impact and sustainable, enterprise-like models.
Primarily provides repayable finance through an impact investment model; deal sizes vary by project and appear to be customized rather than fixed or open-call grants. The program is geared toward social businesses and NGOs in Israel, likely with a due-diligence and investment-style review rather than a standard grant application process.
Expect an investment-style process rather than a standard grant application: prepare a clear business or social impact plan, evidence of repayability or revenue generation, and measurable outcomes in Israel. Since funding is program-specific and not publicly described as open-call, applicants should likely initiate contact through UJIA or Si3 and be ready for due diligence on both impact and financial sustainability.
