In 2008, The Jewish Agency for Israel supported the 8th Herzliya Conference in Israel[5].

Funding

As of mid-2010, the Jewish Agency's reportedly had a budget of roughly $300 million.[6]

In September 2009 Natan Sharansky, secured $6 million from the Genesis Philanthropy Group, made up of 'several oligarchs from the former Soviet Union, who have committed to building a better Russian speaking Jewish diaspora', for 'educational projects' in the former Soviet Union. The money was pledged over three or four years to go towards schools, summer camps and other formal Jewish education projects and was described as 'Sharansky's baby'.[7]
