About Us


Founded in 1968, the United Holy Land Fund (UHLF) empowers Palestinians through education and community support. As a tax-exempt charity, we provide scholarships, aid orphans, and fund essential programs, serving as a bridge between the Palestinian-American community and those in need.

For nearly 60 years, UHLF has remained non-partisan, non-denominational, and dedicated to improving lives. Today, we support 1,000 students and 1,000 orphans, helping to foster a future of self-reliance and opportunity.

Join us in creating a lasting impact—one student, one family, and one future at a time.
