The Jewish National Fund is a Jewish financial institution established in 1901 at the 5th Zionist Congress in Basel, Switzerland. The fund raised funds for the purchase of land and the settlement of Palestine. The JNF is a non-profit organization. By 2007, it owned 13% of the total land in Israel. Since its inception, the JNF says it has planted over 240 million trees in Israel.
