===Misleading donors?===
In June 2021, the Fundraising Regulator in the UK found that the JNF Charitable Trust was not guilty of misleading donors after a complaint by the campaign group ‘Stop the JNF’ stated otherwise. The complaint by ‘Stop the JNF’ stated that the “charity’s description of its work in the Negev and of the situation in the Negev itself, was so inaccurate or incomplete as to mislead some people” and “the information about the funding related to the Derech Eretz Leadership Programme omitted significant information about the extent of the project's connection with the
armed forces in Israel.”
‘Stop the JNF’ pointed to the fact the JNF listed the following about the 2 donation locations:
 “The Negev is a large desert region in the south of Israel which comprises
 around 55% of Israel's landmass and is largely unpopulated. It is home to less than 10%
 of Israel's population. The Negev region is incredibly poor and is in need of support.”
And 
Derech Eretz was a:
 "leadership programme providing marginalised youth aged 17-21 the opportunity for life-changing growth and development throughout all three stages of service in the Israel Defense Forces (pre-army support and preparation, ongoing mentorship during service and post-army guardianship. Derech Eretz encourages participants to take responsibility for their lives - helping to make their military service more meaningful, whilst laying the groundwork for a life of personal fulfilment, success,
and giving to the community.”
The complainant contrasted the above with information on Derech Eretz website which said:
 "Programs include a six-month pre-army Mechina which provides guidance for admission
 to elite and combat army units..." and "High school students from the lower strata of
 society need extra help to achieve a useful and meaningful army seMce [sic]. They have a
 harder time qualifying for popular elite army units which require advance preparation...
 Graduates of the program are motivated and well equipped with skills and experiences
 that will allow them to excel in the military".
As well as pointing to a Ha’aretz article which detailed a JNF Charitable statement from 2017 which said that supporting project in Negev "will not only improve the lives of those who already call the Negev and the Galilee home but will create incentives for people to settle and stay in these areas." Other complaints said that projects in the Negev towns of Umm Al-Hiran and Al-Araqib were connected with the OR Movement which the complaint called a “radical Jewish settler movement.”
JNF replied to the allegations saying that the Derech Eretz programme has no military content and is solely social-educational. Whereas the complaints raised regarding Negev were done so by “a politically motivated movement with its ow/n agenda" and the projects are non-political and provide relief for the region in need.
The Fundraising Regulator came to the outcome that the JNF Charitable Trust had not misled donors in either of the two cited cases and no evidence of deliberate ambiguousness or attempt to mislead.
