Call for Proposals for Social Projects

In honour of the 70th anniversary of Ramat Hanadiv and to commemorate 90 years since the death of Baron Edmond (Benjamin) de Rothschild, Ramat Hanadiv would like to continue his legacy and encourage community projects that aim to promote emotional and mental welfare for individuals and the community by connecting to nature. In this complex time for Israeli society, we place great importance on encouraging the connection between nature and humans as an instrument of mental welfare, enjoyment, quality of life and contact between people.

This call for proposals addresses existing projects in both the urban space and the rural space, which work to encourage people to connect, spend time and do activities in nature as a source of mental and emotional welfare for humans and the community.
