One Israel Fund

What One Israel Fund does

One Israel Fund, Ltd. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization (EIN 11-3195338) founded in 1994 and headquartered in Hewlett, New York, with operational leadership in Israel through a Director General based in Jerusalem. It is the premier North American charity dedicated but not exclusive to the safety and welfare of the 500,000+ residents of Judea and Samaria (the Biblical Heartland), across approximately 150 communities. The organization facilitates, on average, more than 200 unique projects annually, addressing gaps in medical, security, education, recreation, and community welfare. Its operations are organized around five thematic funds — Medical, Security, Community, Recreation, and Education — plus a Women's Division and, since October 2023, an Iron Swords Projects emergency response campaign.

The organization's product surface consists of a structured program portfolio rather than software or technology products. The Medical Fund invests in ambulances (standard, armored, and 4x4), defibrillators, and emergency medical kits; the Security Fund funds thermal drones (Autel EVO 2, EVO Max 4T, DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise, DJI m30T), patrol vehicles (Segway Fugleman 6-seater ATVs), surveillance equipment, mobile command centers, and armored vests for first responders. The Community Fund underwrites synagogues, mikvaot, daycares, senior centers, orchards, Pinot Chamot (warm corners) hospitality centers for soldiers, and poverty relief; Recreation covers playgrounds, libraries, and cultural centers; and Education supports schools, therapy centers, special needs programs, scholarship funds for students of reserve soldiers, and yeshiva programs. The Women's Division runs missions and recurring projects (Einot Kedem, Machane Gadi), and Iron Swords Projects has executed 400+ IFAK trauma kits, refugee family grants, trauma center renovations, and emergency mobile command centers.

Revenue is generated exclusively through charitable contributions. Donors can make one-time gifts (presets of $72, $100, $180, $360, $500 and custom amounts) or monthly recurring gifts ($36, $50) via credit card, donor-advised fund, stock transfer, or check; large designated gifts fund specific assets such as $110,000-$265,000 ambulances, $350,000-$500,000 mikvaot, or $10,000-per-drone thermal drone units. Distribution is direct: the organization works with all five Regional Councils governing Judea and Samaria (Binyamin, Gush Etzion, Har Hebron, Jordan Valley, Shomron) and partners with Magen David Adom, Rescuers without Borders, Regavim, and the Gush Etzion Foundation. Governance is overseen by a Board of Trustees (7 members, 2024-2026) under Chairman Steven S. Orlow and a Board of Directors of 24 members, with professional staff of approximately 11 individuals led by Executive Vice President Scott M. Feltman and Director General in Israel Rachely Vassal, plus a Founding Chairman (Ambassador Yechiel Leiter). The organization maintains a 4-star Charity Navigator rating and Gold Candid ranking.

Direct peers

• Nefesh B'Nefesh: Nefesh B'Nefesh is a North American organization that facilitates and supports Jewish immigration to Israel, partnering closely with Israeli government programs. It is a directly comparable peer because it operates a US donor-driven model with a strong community-events and missions-based GTM targeted at the same North American Jewish demographic supporting Israel-focused causes.
• Friends of the Israel Defense Forces (FIDF): FIDF is a US-registered nonprofit that raises funds to support Israeli soldiers and their families through wellbeing, educational, and recreational programs. It is a directly comparable peer because both organizations raise charitable dollars in North America to support Israeli security personnel and adjacent community resilience, often within the same donor community.
• American Friends of Magen David Adom: AFMDA is a US-based 501(c)(3) that raises funds in North America to support Magen David Adom (Israel's national EMS). It is a directly comparable peer because both organizations are US-anchored donor intermediaries that channel charitable contributions into Israeli medical, emergency-response, and security infrastructure projects with overlapping donor demographics.

Broad incumbents

• American Technion Society: American Technion Society is the US fundraising arm of the Technion in Israel, supporting STEM higher education and applied research. It is a broad incumbent peer because it operates a comparable US-donor-funded model supporting Israeli institutions within the same North American Jewish philanthropic community, but focused on higher education and research.
• American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC): JDC is a major US-based Jewish humanitarian organization supporting vulnerable Jewish communities globally, including extensive work in Israel. It is a broad incumbent peer because it operates a similar donation-driven model supporting Israeli welfare, social services, and emergency response — but at a vastly larger scale and broader geographic remit.
• Jewish National Fund (JNF): JNF is a century-old US-anchored charitable organization that funds land development, water infrastructure, and community building across Israel. It is a broad incumbent peer because it operates a comparable donation-funded model targeting Israeli development priorities, but with far broader geographic and programmatic scope than One Israel Fund.
• Hadassah Medical Organization: Hadassah is a long-established US-anchored nonprofit that supports healthcare, education, and youth programs in Israel. It is a broad incumbent peer because it raises charitable funds from a similar US Jewish donor base to fund Israeli medical and community infrastructure, but at much larger scale and broader program focus.

Emerging players

• Birthright Israel Foundation: Birthright Israel Foundation is the US-registered nonprofit that funds Birthright Israel's free educational trips to Israel for young Jewish adults. It is an emerging-player peer because it draws on the same North American Jewish donor base to support Israel-connected programming through mission-like experiences, though its primary activity is trip delivery rather than community welfare project funding.
• American Friends of Yeshivot and Torah Institutions: AFYT channels US donations to Israeli yeshivot and religious educational institutions. It is an emerging-player peer because it overlaps with One Israel Fund's Education Fund programs (scholarships, yeshiva support) and shares the same US Orthodox donor base, though its scope is education-specific rather than multi-thematic.

Others

• Israel Bonds (Development Corporation for Israel): Israel Bonds is a US-registered organization that issues Israeli government bonds to North American investors to fund Israeli national development. It is an adjacent peer because it channels US Jewish and pro-Israel capital into Israel — but via debt instruments rather than charitable donations — making it a complementary rather than directly competitive organization.
