One Family Fund

What One Family Fund does

OneFamily Fund Canada is a registered Canadian charitable organization (CRA #85323 3542 RR0001) founded in 2002 by Michal Belzberg in response to the Sbarro bombing in Jerusalem. Headquartered at 3080 Yonge Street in Toronto with 1-10 employees, the organization raises funds in Canada to deliver long-term emotional, financial, and rehabilitative support services to Israeli victims of terrorism and their families. Its direct service portfolio includes tailored personal support, mental health and PTSD treatment, assistance centres, support groups, healing retreats, youth camps, Big Sister/Big Brother mentorship, university scholarships, and young adults transition programming. The organization runs two flagship experiential programs: Camp Timberlane, a 3-week summer camp in Haliburton, Ontario operated in partnership with Camp Timberlane since 2006 that has hosted hundreds of Israeli youth, and the Canada Youth Retreat (formerly Canadian Cottage Experience), a 7-10 day Toronto-based program for religious victims of terror. Annual fundraising is anchored by the 16th annual Israel Hike and Retreat in northern Israel, with participation fees of approximately $4,985 USD plus a minimum $3,600 fundraising commitment.

The business model is a hybrid of unrestricted donations (processed via Zeffy with tax-receiptable giving), event-based fundraising (Israel Hike, Ultra Purim Masquerade, Shifting Power lectures, Haunted Heart Bash, and third-party community events), and commercial merchandise sales. Merchandise includes holiday and donation cards ($12-$18 each), the Proof of Life anthology ($24.99+ softcover), We Will Dance Again prints ($65, Toronto/GTA pickup only), and a partner-produced Sterling Silver tag necklace line ($90-$125) with 20% of profits routed back to the organization via Meredith Wenger Designs. Customer segments split between the primary beneficiary segment (Israeli victims of terrorism, including children, young adults, and bereaved families) and the secondary donor segment (Canadian Jewish community members, day schools, Bnei Mitzvah families, and event participants). The organization is purely philanthropic with no proprietary technology, no AI/ML capabilities, and no venture or equity funding; all program services are funded by donations, event fees, and merchandise revenue. Post-October 7, 2023 the organization materially expanded its product and partner ecosystem and increased beneficiary capacity, aligning its mission to an expanded population of recognized terror victims in Israel.

Broad incumbents

• The Jewish Agency for Israel: Global Jewish organization with programs supporting immigration, absorption, and welfare of Jewish people worldwide including in Israel. Comparable institutional model of cross-border fundraising for Israeli beneficiary services, with a much broader mandate.
• Birthright Israel Foundation: Major North American Jewish nonprofit funding young adult Jewish heritage trips to Israel. Competes for the same young-Jewish-adult donor and program-participant demographic and shares OneFamily's experiential programming model (immersion trips/camps for Jewish identity).
• B'nai B'rith International: One of the oldest Jewish service organizations globally, with programs supporting Jewish communities worldwide including humanitarian and victim support work. Comparable as a Jewish humanitarian nonprofit with diverse programmatic portfolio similar to OneFamily's multi-service model.
• American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC): One of the largest and oldest Jewish humanitarian organizations globally, providing relief and development services to Jewish communities including in Israel. Comparable to OneFamily in mission focus on Jewish welfare support, but at vastly greater scale and geographic breadth.
• Hadassah, The Women's Zionist Organization of America: Major American Jewish nonprofit supporting health, education, and youth programs in Israel. Comparable as a long-established North American Jewish nonprofit running multi-decade Israeli programs with Canada-relevant donor engagement and a similar donor-event-driven fundraising model.

Direct peers

• Jewish Federation of Greater Toronto: Toronto-based central Jewish community fundraising and social services organization that channels funds to Israeli humanitarian causes, including terror victim support. Overlaps directly with OneFamily's Toronto donor base and Israel-focused programming, representing the primary community-wide alternative for Toronto Jewish donors.
• American Friends of Magen David Adom: U.S. fundraising affiliate for Israel's national emergency medical and disaster response service. Directly comparable to OneFamily as a North American-registered nonprofit raising funds to support Israeli victims of violence and emergencies, with a similar cross-border fundraising-to-Israel-programs model.
• Friends of the Israel Defense Forces (FIDF): Largest charitable organization supporting Israeli soldiers, with North American fundraising infrastructure. While focused on soldiers rather than terror victims, it competes for the same Canadian/American Jewish donor wallet for Israel-related causes and operates a similar event-driven, multi-program fundraising model.

Regional players

• ZAKA: Israeli volunteer organization providing emergency response and victim identification after terrorist attacks. Operates primarily in Israel with international fundraising support, directly comparable to OneFamily's terror victim mission focus at the front-line response level.
• United Hatzalah: Israeli volunteer emergency medical service organization with North American fundraising. While based in Israel, it competes for the same Israeli trauma-response donor narrative and Canadian/American Jewish donor base supporting emergency relief and terror victim response.
