American Friends of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra (AFIPO) is a not-for-profit organization committed to supporting the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra (IPO), Israel's premiere cultural ambassador. Americans with ties to Israel have always recognized the importance of the IPO's special role in Israel and throughout the world, and have been a vital component in creating and sustaining the Orchestra. AFIPO's objective was crystallized in 1980 through the joint vision of Fredric R. Mann and Zubin Mehta . It was at this time that an endowment fund was established in the United States to help ensure the IPO's future.
