The Israeli Civic Leadership Association (Civic Leadership) is the umbrella organization of the third sector, non-profit organization (NPO’s) throughout Israel. Since 1986 this organization has been dealing with a multitude of legislative and national issues that affect the activities of all the NPO’s from an overall perspective. Civic Leadership aims at making it easier for NPO’s in Israel to operate and to fulfill their goals. The association is a national, apolitical organization whose membership includes hundreds of NPO’s from throughout the country, each involved with a wide range of fields of content and endeavor. Umbrella organization: Each NPO was established in order to achieve its own specific purpose. However, they all have common goals and needs. We are here to focus these common needs into a single sectorial voice and to help all of them, in their missions by promoting their common interests at the appropriate levels of government and regulation. We Believe: We at Civic Leadership believe that cooperation on the basis of common interests increases the probability of success. We believe in establishing the third sector as an influential factor in formulating and leading social, environmental and economic policy, alongside the public and the business sectors.
