JOIN Israel

What JOIN Israel does

JOIN Israel is a US-registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN 13-3643245) founded in 1992 and headquartered in Lawrence, New York, with operational programs delivered in Israel. The organization functions as a connector-and-funder under a partnership model branded "The Power of &™," using strategic alliances with schools, municipal welfare agencies, and community organizations to address gaps in Israeli welfare and education that fall through the cracks of existing services. Rather than building parallel delivery infrastructure, JOIN Israel channels donations through a 100+ partner ecosystem to fund education, emergency aid, family stabilization, and community resilience programs at materially lower per-beneficiary cost than standalone direct-delivery models.

Programs are organized under four umbrellas: JOIN Education (partnering with 25 under-resourced schools to deliver STEM labs, robotics centers, libraries, teacher training, and enrichment at approximately $18 per child); JOIN Safety Net (including JOIN Lifeline for elderly Israelis across ten cities, Pitronot Solutions for family financial crisis, Our Own Way for at-risk youth in the Gaza envelope, food security via a Jerusalem soup kitchen and Food with Dignity, Day Camp subsidies, and School War Decompression); JOIN Family Services (subsidized therapy and mentorship); and JOIN Emergency Response, launched October 7, 2023 in response to the Hamas attacks. Disclosed cumulative outcomes include 6,000+ students enriched, 2,500 therapy sessions subsidized, 400 elderly rescued, 250+ families stabilized, and 1,200+ children in subsidized day camps.

Revenue is derived entirely from donations, foundation grants, and fundraising events (galas, wine tastings, film screenings, cultural events). The U.S. staff is small (approximately 5 employees listed), and governance rests with a board that includes President Bryan Weingarten (WP Realty founder), Vice President Maurice Dayan (Bluestar Alliance), and Executive Director/Founder Stephen Bisk, supplemented by a Young Leadership Board for ages 21–39. The organization holds a Charity Navigator four-star rating and operates as an independent entity with no parent company, no institutional investment backing, and no publicly disclosed financials.
