Russell F. Robinson

Russell F. Robinson serves as Chief Executive Officer of Jewish National Fund-USA. For 26 years, he has worked tirelessly to fulfill the Zionist organization’s philanthropic vision for the land and people of Israel, creating a new generation of changemakers, represented through its JNFuture donor society for young professionals and its Alexander Muss High School in Israel. Most recently, Robinson led the organization to achieve the fundraising target of its One Billion Dollar Campaign, an audacious plan to attract 800,000 new residents to Israel’s Negev and Galilee, bringing the positive impact of Zionism to a new generation. Following the tragic events of October 7, Robinson and Jewish National Fund USA are bringing organizations from across the world together to rebuild Israel’s shattered southern communities and reimagine the future of Israel’s north. In 2024, Robinson mobilized the organization's national network of college affiliates to combat the insidious disinformation campaign against Israel, inspiring Jewish students everywhere to stand up, combat hate, and show their Zionist pride.
