Priority Areas

Myisrael supports carefully selected amutot and small, grassroots causes in Israel that make a difference for vulnerable people. Its causes address trauma and bereavement, mental health and disability, poverty, education and special needs, vulnerable children and young people, and women at risk. It seeks independently run, non-partisan, non-political and non-discriminatory organisations, and looks for financial capacity and a way to measure success.

Its giving model connects donors with specific causes and projects, helping supporters understand the impact of their donations.
