(Data as of October 7th, 2023)
Dedicated Populations: Approximately 17.5% belong to the Negev Bedouin community. About 15% come from families of hostages and released captives.
Secondary Circle: Beyond direct beneficiaries, the organization supports and guides over 200 surviving parents and legal guardians.

Rebuilding after loss and trauma is an ongoing, long-term journey. Atufim B’Ahava – ICF has committed to providing financial and personal support to every beneficiary until they reach the age of 30.
Our operational plan is driven by a multi-year actuarial model that maps and guarantees beneficiary needs over the next 27 years (through 2053), delivering tailored responses at every major life milestone. Our support system remains open to beneficiaries even after they turn 30.

We operate as an institutional knowledge hub for our families. Our team works in direct collaboration with bodies such as the War Orphans Forum, the IDF Widows and Orphans Organization, and the Organization for Victims of Hostilities. Our social workers help families first maximize their full legal rights from state institutions and National Insurance (Bituach Leumi). Israeli Children’s Fund – Atufim B’Ahava’s grants serve as a complementary, empowering layer that covers remaining gaps.

We are committed to maximizing resources for direct beneficiary impact:
91% of the organization’s budget directly funds grants, programs, and professional support for children and young adults.
Only 9% is allocated to resource development and operational infrastructure necessary to execute the grant system safely and transparently (including legal counsel, auditing, and compliance).
