What Menomadin Foundation does

Menomadin Foundation is an Israeli philanthropic foundation established in 2019 by entrepreneur Haim Taib, headquartered in Herzliya, Israel, and operating with 11-50 employees. Its stated mission is to develop and implement national roadmaps that strengthen Israel's social resilience, executed through three interconnected service lines: Strategic Philanthropy (future-facing grant programs with continuous impact measurement), Impact Investing (an evergreen model reinvesting profits from a portfolio of Israeli startups), and Cross-Sector Partnerships (public-private initiatives aligning government, private sector, and civil society). Signature programs include the Kinneret Amakim PRO northern Israel leadership network (delivered with the Rashi Foundation, Ministry of Interior, and Israel National Digital Agency), academic scholarships for Druze IDF reservists, and the Menomadin-Peres Leadership Program for Israeli executives. Its underlying platform is impact management methodology applied to social resilience, rather than commercial technology.

The foundation's business model is nonprofit philanthropy with no commercial pricing; capital is sourced from an evergreen impact investment portfolio whose realized profits fund programs. Portfolio holdings disclosed include Wheelshare (health-tech wheelchair rental solutions), Voltify (diesel-to-electric train conversion, $30M seed round in 2026 with Aleph and Fortescue), and enSights (AI-powered clean energy optimization, $10M Series A in December 2024 with JAL Ventures and XT VC). The customer base consists of Israeli government ministries, regional authorities (notably the Kinneret Valleys Cluster), and portfolio startups, engaged through direct collaboration rather than commercial sales channels. Revenue mechanics rely on portfolio exits funding continued program operations rather than recurring contracts.

Core offering

Menomadin Foundation develops and implements national roadmaps to strengthen Israel's social resilience through strategic philanthropy programs, impact investing in Israeli startups, and cross-sector public-private partnerships. It operates an evergreen model that reinvests portfolio profits from funded startups into philanthropic programs covering education scholarships (Druze IDF reservists), regional leadership development (Kinneret Amakim PRO), and executive leadership cultivation (Menomadin-Peres Leadership Program).

Product overview

The Menomadin Foundation operates as a philanthropic and impact investment organization rather than a traditional product company. Its core offerings consist of three interconnected service areas: Strategic Philanthropy (future-facing programs with continuous impact measurement), Impact Investing (evergreen model reinvesting startup portfolio profits), and Cross-Sector Partnerships (flagship public-private partnerships). The foundation supports selected projects including the Kinneret Amakim PRO leadership network, academic scholarships for Druze IDF reservists, and portfolio companies such as Wheelshare (health tech for wheelchair rentals). The Menomadin-Peres Leadership Program cultivates executive leadership from Israel's business sector.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• UJA-Federation of New York: Large Jewish philanthropic federation funding Israeli social, educational, and community programs. Comparable as a major grantmaking organization with substantial Israel programming, though structured as a federation rather than a private foundation.
• Edmond de Rothschild Foundation: Israeli-focused philanthropic foundation supporting social and economic opportunity programs. Comparable through its Israeli operating focus and programmatic approach to social resilience, though with a broader and longer-established portfolio.
• Jewish National Fund (JNF): Large, established philanthropic organization operating across Israel with a focus on land development, community building, and regional growth. Comparable through its regional development and Israeli community-building mandate, though operating at much larger scale.

Direct peers

• Ruderman Family Foundation: US-based philanthropic foundation with significant Israel-focused programming on social inclusion, disability rights, and Jewish-Israeli relations. Comparable in operating model (private foundation running multiple programs) and partial thematic overlap (Israeli social issues).
• Rashi Foundation: Israeli philanthropic foundation focused on education and socio-economic mobility. Direct strategic co-development partner with Menomadin on the Kinneret Amakim PRO initiative, making it the most operationally comparable peer in Israel.
• Israel Venture Network (IVN): Israeli impact-investing network of business leaders funding ventures with measurable social outcomes. Directly comparable in combining Israeli impact investing with philanthropic outcomes, serving a similar investor/funder community.
• Peres Center for Peace and Innovation: Israeli non-profit fostering leadership and innovation. Co-develops the Menomadin-Peres Leadership Program, making it a directly comparable Israeli foundation running executive and social leadership initiatives.
• World Zionist Organization: Established Israeli organization active in settlement, education, and social programs. Co-developer with Menomadin on the Druze scholarship initiative, making it a directly comparable Israeli partner in grantmaking and community programming.

Others

• Start-Up Nation Central: Israeli non-profit connecting global stakeholders to the Israeli innovation ecosystem. Thematically related as it bridges Israeli startups, government, and international partners, an enabling function that overlaps with Menomadin's cross-sector partnership work.

Emerging players

• Aleph Venture Capital: Israeli VC firm co-leading impact-aligned rounds (Voltify). Not a peer in philanthropy, but a comparable Israeli impact-investing actor whose model overlaps with Menomadin's investment arm and serves the same startup ecosystem.
