About
On October 7th, 2023, a heinous attack orchestrated by Hamas terrorists shattered the lives of hundreds of Israeli families. Countless 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. The aim was not just for these children to survive but to thrive.
Pooling our collective strengths, invaluable execution experience, and fundraising expertise, we embarked on the path to establish the Israeli Children's Fund (ICF). In just weeks, the ICF had already extended over 1 Million NIS in immediate financial support to these children, all while laying the financial, legal, and structural foundation needed to ensure long-term financial stability, empowering these children to overcome adversity and build a brighter future.

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 not only to overcome adversity but to flourish, by providing a secure financial foundation and access to personal growth opportunities to unlock their full potential.
What We Do
Immediate Relief
Since October 7th, we have disbursed immediate relief funds to over 230 children to address their most pressing needs. Our first step in providing support to these children entailed a systematic approach, encompassing the collection of essential information, outreach to their guardians and families, and a thorough needs assessment. We are actively engaged in ongoing collaboration with other organizations, synergizing efforts to maximize our collective impact and operational efficiency in supporting these children during their most critical moments.
Long Term Support
In the long term, our commitment is to ensure the financial empowerment of each child as they transition into adulthood. We achieve this by establishing individualized trust funds, providing a secure foundation for unlocking their full potential.
Furthermore, we are dedicated to fostering a strong bond between the children and Israel's dynamic tech and business communities. Our aim is to leverage the collective strength and resources of these communities, creating a network that empowers these children to thrive both personally and professionally. As the children mature, this will include access to mentorship, job opportunities, and valuable personal development opportunities.
