The sum of $250,000 will be sought this year in America by the American Fund for Palestinian Institutions, the funds to be allocated to fifteen institutions in Palestine, it was announced here today.
The American Fund for Palestinian Institutions has been formed as a single appeal to replace the separate appeals of educational, cultural, and social service institutions in Palestine which are not included in any other nation-wide united appeal in this country. Among these institutions are the Hebrew Institute of Technology, Palestine Symphony Orchestra, Hechalutz of America, Hebrew Teachers College of Jerusalem, Habimah Theatre, Haifa Technical High School, Haifa Nautical School and others.
“Each of the beneficiary institutions is investigated thoroughly by the American Fund for Palestinian Institutions, with the aid of its Palestine Advisory Board, and is finally passed upon by its Board of Trustees,” Edward A. Norman, president of the Fund, stated. “Any institution receiving support from the American Fund agrees not to solicit welfare funds in American.”
