The Third Sector in Israel

The Third sector in Israel is one of the largest in the world. Data on the numbers of non-profits who registered with the Ministry of the Interior over the period from 1981 through 1998 illustrates this growth; 27,000 non-profit organizations were registered in that time period. Recent data confirm the trend; in 2003 1,452 new organizations were registered, the same number is expected this year (during the first 6 months of 2004, 784 new organizations were registered). Today there are approximately 10,000 active non profit organizations whose activities cluster around three main programming areas; education and welfare (28 percent), religion (26 percent) and cultural, artistic and recreational programs (13 percent). The sector makes a considerable contribution to the Israeli economy and workforce; in 1995 the non-profit sector had total expenditures of 33 billion NIS and employed 9.3 percent of the non-agrarian work force to account for 12.7 percent of the GDP, that year.
