Over the past four years since the Path's conception began, support has come from a number of different places, including individuals, foundations, organizations, corporations and governments. We want to take a moment to recognize all of these entities and to thank them for sharing our vision and for their tremendous support.

Each of these are contributors to the Abraham Path Initiative organization, but are not involved in its management or operation. The organization is dedicated to supporting the development of the route and development of local support in the region that will make it sustainable.
The Path's development has also received support (both in-kind and financial) from individuals residing in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, England, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Jordan, Netherlands, Palestine, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkey, and the United States.
Governmental Support
Public statements of support for the project have come from the Ministries of Tourism in Turkey and Jordan. In addition, we are working in different ways with the governments along the path to advance the mission of the Initiative. With the Syrian Government we have been informed of their intention to create a Syrian Cultural Walking Trail and we are hopeful to establish a relationship with it in the future. Countries supporting the Initiative include: Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Egypt, England, Finland, France, Germany, India, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Netherlands, Pakistan, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Turkey, and the USA.
