What Bonei Olam does

Bonei Olam is a 501c3 non-profit organization founded in 1999 that provides financial assistance, medical referrals, counseling, and genetic research support to couples experiencing infertility within the Orthodox Jewish community. Headquartered in Brooklyn, NY, the organization operates 28 regional chapters across six countries (United States, Canada, Israel, United Kingdom, Belgium, and Australia) and maintains a 24-hour medical hotline staffed by counselors who guide couples through treatment while protecting their identity via a proprietary PIN-based anonymous identification system. To date, the organization reports it has helped bring over 14,986 children into the world through direct grants, with annual financial assistance described in the "millions of dollars" range and cumulative fundraising in the "tens of millions."

The organization's service portfolio is anchored by three pillars — Financial Assistance, Medical Assistance, and Advanced Medical Research — and extends to more than fifteen specialized offerings including fertility preservation for cancer patients, high-risk pregnancy care support, insurance advocacy, advanced genetic testing (through the Center for Rare Jewish Genetic Disorders), single women's egg retrieval, a shidduch database (Kesher) for singles with medical circumstances, and the "Bonei Olam Without Borders" program that brings international fertility specialists on treatment missions. Revenue is generated entirely through donations and philanthropic sponsorship, with structured giving tiers ranging from $36/month recurring donations up to $45,000 for a full male infertility treatment, plus a community-based recurring program (V'zakeini) in which over 22,174 women contribute $1 per week at candle-lighting to collectively fund $18,000 IVF cycles. The organization operates with 11–50 employees and is led by Founder and Executive Director Rabbi Schlomo Bochner.
