The Syrian Colonisation Fund (SCF) was founded in early 1882. Elizabeth Finn (writer and wife of James Finn, the British Consul in Jerusalem in the days of the Ottoman Empire) was one of its founders. The SCF's first president was Lord Shaftesbury. He drafted the SCF's objects as 'to give relief and employment to Jews especially in the Holy Land, till increase of funds shall give us the means to enable them to form themselves into colonies on their own responsibility'.
