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 financial support for 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.
How To Get Involved

Mitzvah Project
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. Read more >>
