The Tel-Chai Fund was established subsequent to the 1929 Palestine Riots, serving as a fundraising arm of the Revisionist Movement; its declared objectives were to support Jewish defense in Palestine and to teach Jewish youth self-defense. The members of the Betar youth movement were involved in fundraising activities for the fund, which led to competition between the Tel-Chai Fund and the Jewish National Fund over fundraising.
