Practicing catalytic philanthropy means not only offering crucial funding support but also activating networks and initiating new relationships and partnerships. Outset Contemporary Art Fund is recognised for creating influential models of responsive arts philanthropy with its innovative public-private schemes and initiatives. The charity has raised over £13 million worldwide in support of the creative ecosystem. With a presence in nine countries, including Israel. We stand by our mission to act as an outdoor research and education center, encouraging all ages and sectors of the city to interact with nature and learn about their surroundings.Įstablished in 2003, Outset Contemporary Art Fund is the leading international, independent charity supporting innovative art projects that engage the widest possible audiences. Many of these communities are referred to as being on the periphery of Israeli society, characterized by neighborhoods with teeming buildings and lacking green spaces.Īs a microcosm of Jerusalem’s diverse life and representing Jerusalemites of every denominational, political and demographic stripe, the JBG stands to provide low-income families from different neighborhoods the opportunity to experience art and culture within the Gardens at an affordable rate. Our guided tours, gardening workshops, lectures, and volunteer opportunities for all ages aim to educate Jerusalem's distinctive communities about environmental awareness, sustainability and biodiversity. JBG provides an urban escape in the midst of a dynamic city. The flora is displayed throughout 6 Phyto-geographical sections – Southern Africa, Europe, North America, Australia, South-East and Central Asia and the Mediterranean. JBG boasts Israel’s broadest collection of live plants (over 6,600 species), as well as varieties of plants from around the world. The 30-acre Jerusalem Botanical Gardens is the largest in Israel and the only one of its kind in the Middle East.
