A Wider Bridge

Missions - A Wider Bridge helps educate North American LGBTQ leaders through in-person and virtual missions to Israel and by bringing Israeli LGBTQ leaders to North America. Mission participants are drawn from elected office, media, business, nonprofit management, and faith leadership. They experience the country's history, politics, conflict, and values as a Jewish and democratic state, and to understand the ongoing progress of the Israeli LGBTQ community and its struggles for equality. These missions also provide an opportunity for LGBTQ Americans and Israelis to find shared experiences with each other.

Impact Grants - A Wider Bridge'simpact grant program provides much-needed resources to NGOs in Israel that amplify activist voices on the ground, advancing LGBTQ life across Israel. A Wider Bridge serves as the diaspora's organized effort to advance LGBTQ rights and community in Israel. These programs reach tens of thousands of individuals, from Israel's largest cities to the periphery, touching the diverse Arab, Ethiopian, Mizrahi, and Orthodox communities.
