Giving Tuesday 2016: A Straightforward Ask from NAF-IOLR
Giving Tuesday 2016 opens the year-end charitable season, when many deserving nonprofits vie for attention in inboxes and social feeds. Our ask is refreshingly simple: when you choose NAF-IOLR, you become part of a small group of supporters whose gifts carry real weight. IOLR runs on a modest budget, so each contribution creates a visible shift — you can truly see the needle move.
To give, just mail us a check; complete instructions are on our Donate page. An online giving page is planned for our new website, which is still being built — for now, consider us a return to a simpler way of doing things.

For People Who Care About Israel
Supporting NAF-IOLR means supporting Israel. The country gets its drinking water through desalination and its energy from offshore Mediterranean gas fields — and what you rely on must be protected. Responsible stewardship of the Mediterranean requires scientific expertise and environmental monitoring, and IOLR is Israel's leading source for both. Israel's economy also depends on scientific and engineering innovation; technology is now the nation's main export and a pillar of its geopolitical standing. IOLR provides scientific capital, including the ability to exchange Mediterranean and Red Sea research with European partners and others around the world.
For People Who Care About the Environment
Backing NAF-IOLR advances marine environmental restoration worldwide. IOLR pioneered the world's leading technology for restoring coral reef ecosystems. Its breakthroughs in marine fish farming can help the world move away from a fishing industry that is depleting the oceans. And its intensive research on Lake Kinneret offers management insight for stressed freshwater bodies everywhere. Browse the articles and links across our site to learn more.
Thank you for standing with NAF-IOLR — on Giving Tuesday 2016 and all year long.
