New England Chapter
The New England Region of FIDF was founded in 2003. It is comprised of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, and the eastern part of Connecticut. Our annual dinners have featured former Prime Ministers of Israel as guest speakers. Our generous donors have funded capital projects such as Sports Centers and many mobile gyms, clubs and synagogues. This year we are providing IMPACT! scholarships for 158 IDF combat veterans. Our missions to Israel have encouraged participants to make generous donations. In 2009 we focused our fundraising efforts on the Lone Soldier Program. We send an email newsletter to our members every few weeks to promote our events and opportunities for supporting our work.
