The
Colonel Nachman Karni Fund/affiliate
Yad Ben-Gurion for Research for Advancement in
Israel
Security
The Colonel
Nachman Karni Fund was founded by Nachman Karni’s friends in
order to assist academic research, concerning
Israel
’s
security in its broadest sense – Ben Gurionite sense, on the
first memorial of his death, in august l978. The grant is
aimed mainly for university students, still working on
their graduate or post graduate theses.
The grant is given once a year in Sde Boker, at the
memorial ceremony for Pola and David Ben-Gurion.
All academic institutions have been notified of the
Fund’s aims and procedures. The grant was initially $1,000,
after ten years it was raised to $2000.
The Fund Managing Committee would very much welcome new
contributors, so that the colonel Nachman Karni Fund can
become an influential factor in the direction of research
concerning
Israel
’s security.
The Fund is affiliated to Yad
Ben-Gurion, which is regulated by a special law passed by the
Knesset and is subject to the State Comptroller’s
inspection.
Contributions in the United
States are tax exempt when addressed to the Fund through
‘The American Associates of the Ben-Gurion University of the
Negev, 342 Madison Avenue, N.Y.C. 10017, with the following
instructions: “the contribution is to be transferred to the
colonel Nachman Karni Fund, c/o Yad Ben-Gurion,
and to be added to the existing Nachman Karni Fund.
The first two
grants were awarded in The Ben-Gurion House in
Tel-Aviv. The
ceremonies were moved to Sde Boker in l981.
