About
On October 7th, 2023, a heinous attack orchestrated by Hamas terrorists shattered the lives of hundreds of Israeli families. Hundreds of children were left orphaned, having lost one or both parents and often other family members and friends.
In the aftermath of these devastating atrocities, we, a group of Israeli tech and business leaders united with a shared mission: to ensure these children wouldn't have to face the daunting task of rebuilding their lives alone.
Pooling our collective strengths, invaluable execution experience, and fundraising expertise, we embarked on the path to establish the Israeli Children's Fund (ICF).
Our Vision
Building a future in which Israeli children, who lost a parent in the October
7th massacre, rise as beacons of resilience and hope.
Our mission is to empower them to live fulfilling lives, by providing a secure financial foundation, access to continuous opportunities for healing and growth, and individualized professional support.
What We Do
Financial Empowerment
ICF provides up to $200,000 per child to support key life milestones, managed by an experienced Grant Committee in collaboration with government agencies and other nonprofits to maximize impact.
Single Source of Knowledge
By offering streamlined access to information on benefits, programs, and support systems, ICF enables the children to easily find accurate and up-to-date information about their entitlements, be it from ICF, government resources, or other channels. This empowers families to fully utilize their rights.
Tech-Powered Impact
ICF Leveraged technology to improve access to information and opportunities, enhancing support systems and maximizing the families’ ability to navigate through their benefits.
The first two projects are a Benefits-bot and a digital platform with various opportunities.

If you're someone who thrives on hands-on involvement, organizing events, and rallying your community and network for meaningful causes, this is the perfect avenue for you to make a difference. Host events, fundraisers, or spearhead campaigns to support our cause.
Your commitment not only raises essential funds but also amplifies awareness about the significant challenges these children endure. Whether it's a charity run, a bake sale, or a community gathering, your efforts can make a significant impact on their lives.
Turn your Bar or Bat Mitzvah into a meaningful opportunity to give back. Instead of traditional gifts, consider a Bar/Bat Mitzvah project where you raise money during your celebration and donate it to the ICF. It's a powerful way to teach young minds the value of philanthropy and make a direct impact on the lives of children who need support.
Beyond financial support, there are countless ways to make a tangible impact in the lives of these children. Our community thrives on individuals willing to take on specific tasks that directly influence the children's personal and professional growth. Whether you're a tech or business leader, a mentor, a coach, an artist or someone eager to provide direct support and a guiding hand, we're building a network of individuals like you. Your skills and willingness to help are invaluable as we prepare to address the evolving needs of these young lives.

By contributing your expertise, you become an integral part of our journey towards a brighter future for these children
