OLAM Together

What OLAM Together does

OLAM Together is an Israel-registered non-profit network organization (amuta #580618221) founded in 2015 that connects and serves Jewish and Israeli organizations working in international development, humanitarian aid, and global service. Headquartered in Jerusalem with administrative support through Eleven11 Group LLC in the United States, OLAM operates as a community-led platform serving three primary segments: international development practitioners, Jewish leaders and funders, and students/young professionals. Its network spans 80+ partner organizations across 115+ countries, engaging 4,100+ practitioners and 9,700+ Jewish leaders.

OLAM's core offerings include the Focal Point annual conference, the Aspire ethical practices program (with self-assessment tools, workshops, spectrums, and microgrants up to $1,500), OLAMentorship one-on-one matching, study trips, Jewish Learning Circles, Members Circles, and content resources such as the Global Giving Guide and Global Torah podcast. The technology stack is a standard web platform (olamtogether.org) hosted on servers in Lancing, Michigan, used for resource distribution, member directory, and event coordination rather than as a proprietary product.

The business model is non-profit membership/grant-funded: services are provided to partner organizations and individual members at no direct cost, with revenue derived from grants, philanthropic contributions, and institutional support from the Jewish communal funding ecosystem. Distribution relies on direct community engagement, the annual conference, webinars, newsletters, social media, and partner organizations that extend OLAM's reach into their own constituencies.
