Its constituents included Keren Hayesod, the fundraising organization for the Jewish Agency; Hadassah; Hebrew University; the Jewish National Fund and Mizrachi. Later, United Palestine Appeal would enter into a partnership with the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) to found the United Jewish Appeal (UJA).
