Ashdod is a leading and groundbreaking city in all areas of life and activity. It is a city that maintains its community resilience, cares for its residents, and provides solutions to every need in times of routine, emergency, and crisis.

The momentum of the city’s development, which will continue in the coming years, positions Ashdod as an economic, social, and cultural metropolis, one of the most important in the State of Israel. Despite the security and economic challenges we face, we will continue to lead the city to significant achievements at the local, national, and international levels, and provide a high quality of life for both residents and visitors.

Ashdod, the sixth largest city in Israel, is developing at a rapid pace and symbolizes the progress of our country and our ability to tackle complex challenges. Here, among national infrastructures and large factories, hundreds of thousands of residents—both veterans and immigrants—are working together to build a multicultural and modern society based on equality, excellence, and values.

The Ashdod Foundation, established in 1984 by Dr. Arieh Azoulay, former Mayor of Ashdod, operates as a non-profit organization and promotes important projects in the fields of culture, art, education, and welfare. As part of its activities, the foundation assists in the construction of educational, cultural, and welfare institutions, provides scholarships to students, develops public spaces, and creates content in learning environments. The development projects it promotes inspire all areas of life and connect the city’s residents to the community.

The Ashdod Foundation has been working for four decades with great dedication to advance and develop the city, investing significant resources in important municipal initiatives. Collaboration with the foundation is essential to advancing our vision for a better future.

I call upon you to join the Ashdod Foundation and be our partners in the development of the city and its institutions for the benefit of all its residents. We are committed to ensuring that you find loyal partners in the foundation and the municipality to promote shared goals.

Sincerely,
Dr. Yehiel Lasri
Mayor of Ashdod
