TAMID Group

What TAMID Group does

TAMID Group is a US-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, legally registered as TAMID Israel Investment Group LTD in Michigan, that operates a chapter-based experiential education platform connecting undergraduate students with the Israeli innovation ecosystem. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the organization runs 58 university chapters globally with approximately 4,000 active members and an alumni base exceeding 11,000. Operations span North America and Israel, with the Fellowship program anchored in Tel Aviv (Florentine neighborhood). The organization became independent from the Israel on Campus Coalition's fiscal sponsorship in March 2018 and currently operates with a lean team of 3-4 full-time professional staff supplemented by student volunteers and alumni leadership.

The organization's core offerings span five programs: (1) TAMID Consulting, delivering pro-bono management, technical, and financial consulting projects to Israeli companies via remote student teams of 4-8; (2) the TAMID Fellowship, an 8-week summer internship placing students at Israeli host companies; (3) the TAMID Fund, an investment education program with stock simulation and venture capital training; (4) TAMID Beta, a one-year chapter incubation track; and (5) an Education Program covering the Israeli economy and startup ecosystem. To date, TAMID has completed 500+ consulting projects for 300+ Israeli companies, including Lemonade, BDO, OurCrowd, Appsflyer, monday.com, and Lightricks, and has placed 1,633 Summer Fellows. A proprietary web platform at apps.tamidgroup.org facilitates company registration, project workflows, and Fellow-to-company matching.

TAMID's revenue model combines fellowship contributions ($1,800 per Fellow against a $10,000 total cost per Fellow, with the remainder subsidized by partners including Birthright Israel Onward) and donations from individuals and partner organizations. Consulting services are provided free of charge to Israeli companies, and the organization holds BBB Charity Accountability, GuideStar Transparency Seal, and Charity Navigator Four-Star credentials. Distribution is anchored in direct, on-campus chapter recruitment at elite universities, while corporate partnerships with Viola, Viola Fintech, Deloitte, PwC, iAngels, Sarona, and Kinneret provide institutional depth across the US-Israel corridor.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Hillel: Hillel is the largest Jewish campus organization worldwide with presence at 550+ universities. Comparable to TAMID in targeting Jewish undergraduate populations on US campuses and building Israel-engagement programming, though Hillel's scope is far broader (cultural, religious, social) than TAMID's business-education focus.
• Jewish National Fund: JNF is a major US Jewish philanthropy with strong Israel-engagement programming for young adults. Comparable to TAMID in mission (building US-Israel connection) and in drawing from the same donor base, though JNF operates at far greater scale and is not focused on consulting or undergraduate skill-building.
• JDC (American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee): JDC is one of the largest Jewish humanitarian organizations globally, with active young-professional and internship programs (Entwine) that connect Jewish young adults to international Jewish-service opportunities. Comparable to TAMID in connecting young Jewish adults to international Jewish-service work, though JDC operates at vastly greater scale and broader scope.

Direct peers

• Net Impact: Net Impact is a student- and professional-member network with university chapters focused on using business for social impact. Comparable to TAMID in chapter-based university membership model, professional-development mission, and nonprofit structure.
• Onward Israel: Onward Israel runs short-term, immersive internship and volunteer programs in Israel for North American Jewish students. Directly comparable to TAMID's Fellowship in audience (US Jewish undergraduates), program type (Israel-based internships), and ecosystem role.
• Masa Israel Journey: Masa funds long-term Israel experiences (internships, study, volunteering) for young Jewish adults. Overlaps with TAMID on US-to-Israel talent mobility and on targeting the same university-age demographic, though Masa is broader in program scope and not consulting-focused.
• 180 Degrees Consulting: 180 Degrees Consulting is the world's largest student-run pro-bono consulting nonprofit, operating 200+ chapters globally. Comparable to TAMID's chapter-based consulting model, project structure, and nonprofit status, though it serves NGOs rather than Israeli startups.
• Birthright Excel: Birthright Excel places highly-motivated North American Jewish students in Israeli internships at startups and corporations. It is the closest peer to TAMID's Fellowship program in target audience, mission (US-Israel connection), and delivery mechanism (paid internships in Israel).

Emerging players

• ROI Community: ROI Community is an international network of Jewish young leaders (ages 25-40) committed to Jewish communal innovation. Comparable to TAMID's alumni-engagement model and Israel-diaspora leadership mission, but skewed older and more entrepreneur-focused than TAMID's undergraduate base.

Others

• Israel on Campus Coalition: ICC was TAMID's fiscal sponsor until March 2018 and operates a coalition of pro-Israel campus organizations. Adjacent rather than directly comparable: ICC is an advocacy/coalition umbrella, whereas TAMID is a direct service provider; they are connected organizationally and share the same campus audience.
