Forums

For Gandyr Foundation, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. The foundation therefore believes that collaborative and coordinated action by civil social organizations working in the same field or with the same population can lead to meaningful, important change in addition to the impact created by each of the individual organizations. Effective joint action requires a stable operational infrastructure with a long term perspective. This is why Gandyr Foundation supports intersectoral forums and views them as significant platforms for strengthening the field of young adults in Israel.
