Our mission

Shefa-Foundation

Supporting All Victims of the War

The Shefa Fund was established out of a deep sense of purpose to care for and support the citizens and soldiers of Israel who were impacted by the devastating war that struck the nation on October 7th. The fund’s mission is to gather donations from Israel’s supporters worldwide, recognizing that the horrors and damages caused by the conflict demand an immediate and comprehensive response to address both the short-term and long-term needs of the victims.

The war, which brought unimaginable atrocities, left thousands of families, soldiers, and civilians in situations of loss, pain, and deep suffering. The Shefa Fund was created to bridge the generosity of Israel’s supporters with the urgent need for social, emotional, and rehabilitative assistance across various areas. The fund is committed to providing targeted, compassionate, and effective support for each unique case, aiming to restore stability and prosperity to those affected

At the heart of the fund’s activities lies a commitment to raising capital from philanthropists and foundations both in Israel and abroad, in collaboration with social organizations and relevant institutions. The fund recognizes that the resources required for full recovery far exceed existing capacities, and global support is essential to provide meaningful assistance to the victims.

The Shefa Fund aspires to be a source of hope, strength, and recovery for all those impacted by these tragic events. Through the generosity of international contributions, the fund seeks to restore a sense of security, stability, and resilience to those who have lost them, thereby strengthening Israeli society as a whole for a better future.
