Abstract
This authors present findings of research exploring the relationships between government and philanthropy in Israel. The main findings indicate a gradual change, from the previously strained relationships between the two towards an accepting and collaborative approach, resulting in the development of innovative and creative social, economic, and educational initiatives. This change is a result of the “Interfacing Round Tables” which serve as the vehicle for creating a dialogue between the government, the business sector, and nonprofit organizations. Nevertheless, there is still a perceived ideological and cultural gap that must be bridged in order to achieve the added value of collaboration for the benefit of clients and citizens. Cross-sector partnership as an option is also proposed and discussed.
