JNF UK is the trading name of the JNF Charitable Trust. It claims to be "the UK’s leading humanitarian and environmental Israel charity...[raising] funds for the building blocks of everyday life in Israel such as reservoirs, irrigation systems, desalination plants, forest planting, recycling schemes, roads, housing and healthcare centres." [1] It is the UK wing of the Jewish National Fund, one of the Israeli National Institutions, which has been described by the Israeli historian Ilan Pappe as "a colonialist agency of ethnic cleansing".[2]
JNF UK is registered as UK charity no 225910 under the name JNF Charitable Trust.[3][4]
Then UK Prime Minister David Cameron stepped down as Honorary Patron of the JNF, May 2011. A press release explained the resignation was part of a wider review of charities and organisations the PM is associated with, claiming the JNF is one of a number of charities he stepped down from.[5] Traditionally the three leaders of the main UK parties have become Honorary Patrons, however none of the three leaders held this position in 2011. Pro-Palestinian solidarity groups claim the resignation was because of growing pressure for Cameron to step down.[6][7] Previous UK Prime Ministers Tony Blair and Gordon Brown remain Honorary Patrons.[8]
In February 2021, Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael-Jewish National Fund (KKL-JNF), the Israeli body that licenses JNF UK its name and with which it has a 2008 project-funding agreement, allocated NIS 38 million (£8.2 million) for the acquisition of occupied land to expand settlements in the West Bank. JNF UK has also been involved in the process: funding the creation of 'British Park': "a forested leisure facility built on the land of 3 Palestinian villages, Ajjur, Kudna and Deir al-Dubban, whose residents were ethnically cleansed and barred from returning." JNF UK also supported the illegal settlement of Sansana in the West Bank., according to Palestine Campaign. [9]
JNF UK itself says it has for "several decades" been "an entirely independent organisation to JNF/KKL in Israel".[10] By November 2026 its website listed Tony Blair but no longer Gordon Brown among its Honorary Patrons.[11]
Relationship with KKL-JNF
JNF Charitable Trust is a company limited by guarantee without share capital, governed by Articles of Association last adopted on 1 November 2022. Its chairman, president and deputy chairmen are elected by its members.[12] It has no shareholders. Its Companies House register states that there is no registrable person or legal entity with significant control; until 2025 the register named its chairman Samuel Hayek (2016–2025), and earlier its chief executive Elan Gorji (2016–2019), as individuals with significant influence or control.[13] No filing found for this page records any shareholding, membership or nominee right held by KKL-JNF in JNF UK.
The links between the two are contractual. JNF UK says that its relationship with KKL was historically governed by "a series of trust deeds which set out how KKL was to use JNF UK's money"; that it "broke down in 1999", when "KKL wanted JNF UK to recognise that it was a branch of KKL and to recognise its supremacy over JNF UK"; and that an agreement of 9 June 1999 "acknowledged that JNF UK was an independent UK charity". In March/April 2005 JNF UK stopped sending funds to KKL.[14] KKL then announced that it would set up its own British office, and litigation followed over the right to use the JNF name in the UK. It cost the two organisations about £4 million.[15] A High Court judgment of October 2008 records that under a draft settlement reached in about February 2008 "steps were taken to give KKL nominees a majority on the JNF's Board of Trustees and Mr Hayek was appointed as Chairman of the Board".[16] Hayek had been "asked initially by KKL to head a rival British office to JNF".[17] Companies House shows him as a director of The KKL Charitable Trust from 24 October 2007 to 19 February 2008.[18]
Under the settlement, JNF UK was licensed by KKL to use the JNF and KKL names and logos in the UK "for a token £10,000", and KKL agreed not to operate its own branch in the UK.[15][19] KKL took ownership of land in Israel that had been bought by the JNF, in return for £5 million paid to JNF UK over ten years.[19][20] Clause 5 of the agreement, quoted in a 2021 Fundraising Regulator decision, says that JNF UK and KKL "undertake to co-operate to identify and select, together, KKL projects in Israel which are suitable for funding wholly or in part by JNFCT". It commits JNF UK "to remit a majority of the charitable funds raised" (after expenses and excluding funds given for other specific purposes) to KKL for such projects, and says that JNF UK "will pay all donations to projects in Israel through KKL".[21]
JNF UK told the regulator that the agreement "is currently in force and has been since 2008". It said it read clause 5 as allowing it to fund only projects that met its own criteria. Since 2015, 17 of the 235 project proposals put to its Projects Committee had come from KKL; 12 were approved, ten of those were later cancelled, and two, worth £0.54 million, went ahead. It said 2014 to 2017 was the only period in which it had sent funds through KKL, for 84 projects to which KKL contributed 20 per cent (£1.2 million). The regulator found "no reason to doubt, from the information we have seen, that the charity is independent of JNF/KKL", while noting that clause 5 "suggests closer ties than the description of the relationship given on the charity's website".[21]
KKL-JNF lists JNF UK among its offices worldwide, with the note that it "is a wholly independent legal entity registered in England and Wales and with the UK Charity Commission. It operates completely separate with its own Board of Directors and Management".[22] Despite its name, KKL Charity Accounts is controlled by JNF UK, not by KKL. JNF Charitable Trust is "entitled to nominate the majority" of its trustees, and it is consolidated as a subsidiary.[23][12] KKL-JNF's own UK company is Keren Kayemeth Leisrael Limited (00092825, incorporated 1907); four of its five directors in 2026 are Israeli nationals. It shares its registered office, at the London solicitors Ch. Hausmann & Co., and two officers with The KKL Charitable Trust (03726261).[18]
JNF in Scotland
For most of the twentieth century JNF fundraising in Scotland was run by the Glasgow Commission of the Jewish National Fund, which worked within the national British JNF; in 1953, for example, the national JNF's annual conference praised the organisers of the Glasgow Blue and White Bazaar.[24]
The Glasgow branch broke away during the 2005–2008 dispute between JNF UK and KKL. The Jewish Chronicle reported that the dispute "led to a split in JNF UK, with its Glasgow branch supporting KKL and leaving the main organisation". Its leading figure was Stanley Lovatt, then a vice-president of JNF UK. In 2006 JNF UK's chief executive, Simon Winters, threatened the Glasgow JNF board with a defamation action after Lovatt's son was identified as the sender of letters to the press containing allegations against Winters.[25]
The KKL (Scotland) Charitable Trust was incorporated in Glasgow on 16 February 2007. Its two founding members (subscribers) were KKL itself, "an Israeli body corporate limited by guarantee", and KKL's English company, Keren Kayemeth Leisrael Limited.[26] Its first directors were Lovatt (chairman), David Links and Gordon Hausmann, who was also company secretary of The KKL Charitable Trust from 2007 to 2024. It registered with the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator on 20 February 2007 (SC037850) and began operating on 19 April 2007. It thanked "the KKL organisation in Israel for a grant received of £10,000 towards establishing the charity".[27][18]
The September 2008 settlement was reported to provide that KKL Scotland "will return to the JNF fold as a subsidiary".[15] In August 2010, however, Lovatt said: "We became independent of JNF UK three years ago and I am delighted that we did".[28] JNF UK's 2025 accounts do not list the Scottish charity among its subsidiaries or connected charities.[12] In 2019 the Jewish Telegraph reported a reconciliation between "JNF KKL Scotland" and JNF UK after a "12-year-long strained relationship".[29]
The Scottish charity's 2026 accounts say that KKL Israel "is one of the two founding members, and remains a corporate member". They say its objects are "all to be based in the State of Israel and where appropriate by supporting relevant charitable projects of Keren Kayemeth Leisrael (KKL Israel)", and that "All funds raised are donated to KKL Israel for projects selected by the trustees".[30]

The "KKL Charity Accounts income" line (£11,504,000) is that charity's income from charitable activities: £11,277,829 of gift-aided client donations and £226,085 of fees. KKL Charity Accounts' own accounts for the same year to 31 December 2025 show total income of £11,783,693, because they also include £279,779 of deposit interest, which is not part of that line in the consolidated statement.[23][12] Total funds at 31 December 2025 were £54.1 million (2024: £51.2 million), of which £41.8 million were unrestricted, including investments of £37.0 million.[12] The report says JNF UK also arranged matched funding of more than NIS 6 million for 20 projects, which is not included in the accounts.[12]

Donor-advised giving through KKL Charity Accounts
Most of JNF UK's spending is donor-advised giving through KKL Charity Accounts (£10,021,000 in 2025). The accounts say details "are not disclosed as they are made in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donors and are not necessarily representative of the Charity's own grant making policies", but list the 20 largest payments:[12]

Green Line policy, military links and controversies
JNF UK's project criteria state that "Projects shall not be over the 'Green line'" (defined as the 1949 armistice lines) and that "The project shall not support military activity". The criteria cover the charity's own project grants; they do not apply to the donor-advised payments made through KKL Charity Accounts.[12]
- Military-linked grants. The JNF Charitable Trust page sets out grants recorded in the accounts to the Benji Hillman Foundation, which houses lone soldiers, to pre-army programmes including Derech Eretz, Otzem and Meitarim Lachish, and £144,000 recorded in 2014 for "Tzuk Eitan 9 Gaza war effort".
- ICJP complaint. In March 2025 the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians complained to the Charity Commission that JNF UK had sent £3,333,000 to "beneficiary organisations" in Israel from 2007 to 2023, funding programmes with direct links to Israel's military.[36] The Commission concluded in February 2026 that the activities were "capable of being charitable", and on 30 March 2026 ICJP lodged a formal complaint about the Commission's handling of the case.[37]
- Fundraising Regulator (2021). In June 2021 the Fundraising Regulator rejected a complaint by the Stop the JNF campaign and 62 other complainants that JNF UK had misled donors about the Negev and about the Derech Eretz programme's links to the Israeli army.[38]
- Chairman's remarks (2021–22). Chairman Samuel Hayek told the Jerusalem Post that "Jews have no future in England".[39] The Jewish Chronicle reported that more than 40 members of the Board of Deputies of British Jews called for him to resign; JNF UK said he "did not speak for the charity or its trustees".[40] He remained chairman in 2026.[11]
