Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal amends the Associations (Amutot) Law by adding a section imposing a tax at a rate of 80% on donations received from foreign state entities by nonprofits that are not funded by the state. The Minister of Finance, with the approval of the Knesset Finance Committee, may grant an exemption in special circumstances. The provision will not apply to donations to public bodies or to institutions supported by the state, nor to donations not exceeding a certain amount. In addition, a court will not consider petitions by nonprofits whose main funding is from a foreign state entity, if the nonprofit itself is not funded by the state.
